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 is available as a historical researcher and consultant for books, documentaries, scripts, exhibitions, and related projects. She undertakes projects with a clearly defined scope and agreed terms that align with her expertise, schedule, and professional priorities.
