While there is recognition - at least by African Psychologists - of what psychology can do for Africa, there is not a similar appreciation for what Africa can do for Psychology. Thus, while there is discourse about the need to Africanize Psychology on the continent, there is no similar discourse to better represent Africa in Psychology to make the discipline less WEIRD (Henrich et al., [2]).
