Although we cannot name all, our projects on cultural and epistemic humility urge us to acknowledge and express our gratitude to Clement Adebamowo, Caesar Atuire, Megan Campbell, Jantina de Vries, Christian Happi, Shose Kessi, Laura Koehly, Thaddeus Metz, Tony Naidoo and Soraya Seedat (listed alphabetically by last name). Empowered by the benefit of hindsight, it has become clear to us that their courage to include us in crucial spaces and their brave scholarships pull in the direction that neuroethics must follow to be impactful/relevant in Africa.
