Join us for an enlightening lecture with Fulbright Scholar Dr. Michele K. Lewis. Dr. Lewis will revisit her and her colleague’s historic *mbongi presented at the 53rd International Association of Black Psychologists Conference in 2022. Delve into the relevance of Black LGBTQ+ persons’ cultural and historical existence within the African human family and within the Associations of Black Psychologists (ABPsi). Prof. Lewis and her colleagues referenced sources of Black wisdom; they integrated these sources with their respective work as clinicians, academics, researchers and artists. Learn about their work incorporating contemplative practices to decolonize inner life, challenging Eurocentric thought and disrupting dynamics of oppression.
