In this episode, we explore and address the distorted Western conceptions of mental health, within the context of communalism and collectivity. Drawing from insights and understandings gathered from roots in the Black church, experiential self-knowledge, self-studying of Ancient and indigenous civilizations, including the perspective of African psychology, and amplified by an African self-consciousness, I hope this intimate reflection will help you draw parallels, become inspired, and develop a sense of curiosity.

A quote for deep and intense reflection:

“When the human spirit is well, whole, and healthy, the human being is characterized by confidence, competence, and a sense of full responsibility and unlimited potentiality” —Dr. Wade Nobles

In this episode, we explore and reclaim the underlying force that emboldens the spirit of liberation, justice, and resistance for the pursuant of addressing and advancing the collective needs, interests, and faculties of African/Black people: Revolutionary Love. Drawing from insights and understandings gathered from Black liberation movement leaders, the ethos of the Black Panther Party, African-centered scholars and educators, and musical artists who centralized cultural and racial consciousness in their song-making process, I hope this intimate reflection will help you draw parallels, become inspired, and develop a sense of curiosity.

In this episode, we explore the underlying force and message to the domestic political violence and greater geopolitical struggles impacting African people. Drawing from insights and understandings gathered from deep contemplation, prayer, reflection, reading, research, and stillness, I hope this intimate reflection will help you draw parallels, become inspired, and develop a sense of curiosity.

A quote for deep and intense reflection:Love is "the will to extend one's self for the purpose of nurturing one's own or another's spiritual growth."

- (M Scott Peck, 1978, as cited in hooks, 1999)
