Our Commitment to Accuracy

Every article published on AskHotep undergoes a structured editorial review process. Our goal is to present Afrocentric history, wellness practices, and sovereignty principles with the highest standard of factual integrity, drawing from verified primary sources and established scholarship.

Sourcing Methodology

Content is grounded in the following source categories:

  • Primary historical sources — Original texts, archaeological records, and firsthand accounts from Kemetic, Nubian, and West African civilizations.
  • Established scholarship — Peer-reviewed works from scholars including Cheikh Anta Diop, George G.M. James, Chancellor Williams, John Henrik Clarke, and Yosef Ben-Jochannan.
  • Peer-reviewed research — Published studies from recognized journals in history, nutrition, traditional medicine, and economics.
  • Traditional knowledge systems — Documented practices from African traditional medicine, herbalism, and spiritual traditions with historical provenance.

Where applicable, articles include inline source citations linking to the original material. Blog posts display a Sources section at the bottom of each article.
