Meserette Kentake, founder of Kentake Page, was born and raised in Kingston, Jamaica, and is of Yoruba descent (mtDNA). Now based in London, she holds a BSc in Counselling Psychology but is most passionate about Afrikan/Black history—especially the Maafa (Atlantic trafficking and captivity). Much of her research and writing centers on this topic. She earned a post-graduate certificate in African History after her MA program was suspended just before completion. Undeterred, Meserette continues her independent scholarship and is working on a debut book about the Maafa. Kentake Page is dedicated to her mother, Delores Anderson, who always encouraged her to share her knowledge with the world. Meserette sees this work as both a cultural duty and spiritual contribution, and is available as a historical researcher and consultant for scripts, documentaries, exhibitions, and related projects.
