Memoir and Narrative Non-Fiction
Personal testimony, lived experience, and the stories that academic publishing rarely makes space for. Books in this category speak from life — candidly, honestly, and without apology.
Independent Academic Imprint
Publishing the voices that the mainstream overlooked.
Ajibade Academic Publishing is an independent imprint founded by Dr Benjamin Olusola Ajibade, committed to publishing rigorous, accessible, and transformative work at the intersection of race, nursing, mental health, and equity in higher education.

About the imprint
Chosen to advance understanding, not to follow fashion.
Ajibade Academic Publishing was founded on a simple conviction: that the most important scholarly and personal voices in nursing, mental health, and higher education are not always the ones that conventional academic publishing chooses to amplify.
The imprint exists to change that. Every title published under the Ajibade Academic Publishing name is chosen for its capacity to advance understanding, challenge assumptions, and speak honestly to the experiences of practitioners, patients, researchers, and communities who have too often been spoken about rather than heard.
The imprint operates across three broad areas: personal memoir and narrative non-fiction; professional and clinical guides for nursing and healthcare practitioners; and academic books on race, equity, decolonisation, and the transformation of higher education.
Our focus areas
Three shelves, one conviction.
Nursing, Mental Health, and Clinical Practice
Professional guides, clinical frameworks, and practice-oriented books for nurses, healthcare practitioners, and the educators who train them. Grounded in evidence, written for real working environments.
Race, Equity, and Higher Education
Academic books on decolonising curricula, race-conscious mentorship, structural transformation, and the experiences of racially minoritised students and academics in UK higher education. Rigorous scholarship in accessible language.
