Yesterday, August 1, the African Heritage blog passed the 2 million views cap. This is particularly moving, and coincidental with the fact that this August will also mark a significant milestone: the 10 years anniversary of blogging on Afrolegends.com, the African Heritage blog. Time flies! Goodness Gracious, time flies! It has been a fun and tough 10-years ride. I could fill another blog just to tell you how these past 10-years have been, but I will spare you the details for now. All I can tell you is that YOU, the readers and subscribers, have made it possible with your constant support, comments, corrections, and contributions. This is truly a celebration to you, and to your readership! A big thanks to all of you.
I have always been stunned by the beauty of the flower below (growing up, I was always enthralled by its beauty) because of its vibrancy, its distinction, its determination, and above all its uniqueness… so in upcoming years, this will be our motto here on Afrolegends. As we embark on this new journey, we promise to bring you more good content and stories, and of course capture great memories for the African continent. As you know, the past 10 years have been tough years for Africa, but they have also been years of learning, growth, and rebirth. Like always, “A luta continua e la vitoria e certa.”
To celebrate this milestone, for the month of August, we will feature the top articles on the blog for the past 10 years, and bring out the all-time favorites.
Happy Anniversary!

That’s amazing! Congratulations, Dr. Y! 2 million views over 10 years? WOW!
Keep doing what you’re doing. You’ve taught me so much about so many African cultures, showed me great music, told me about great inventions, the history, and we’ve had amazing talks on your blog. I’m glad to have discovered Afrolegends on WordPress. It’s been a blessing reading your posts and interacting with you.
Longonia, Dr. Y! (Congratulations, Dr. Y! in Lingala)
