Tell us your American story! We are not looking for an autobiography of 40,000 words. No. We are looking for brief accounts of extraordinary incidents. Not more than 1,200 words.  The information should include your photograph; some background information about yourself, how and why you came to Africa and details of your airline and hotel if you were a tourist. Then discuss the incident itself and include, if possible, narration on video of up to 3 minutes or a podcast.

We intend to publish a book on an annual basis with some of the most outstanding stories. We will contact you in advance in the event we select your story. Let us also know about other Africa American stories that you may know about or have read about.
