Acknowledgment is but the first step in combatting global anti-Black oppression. During this most recent racial awakening, many felt lost on what to do and say in response to the terrorism Black folx endure at a global level.

Dear Black Prophets, Co. is committed to helping build a just and equitable world that appreciates the contribution of Black folx and recognizes our humanity in full -- not just our trauma. Partner with us to explore how your organization may benefit from African-centered values and practices substantiated by the most recent psychological literature on racism, anti-Black oppression, and racial trauma.

Psychoeducation.

Racism and its corollary oppression and trauma impact Black folx cognitively, physically, psychologically, and spiritually. The psychological impacts of trauma may manifest differently across the Black diaspora but may include sadness, hypervigilance, anger, physical ailments, lack of concentration, and more. In order to address racism with diligence, we must undnerstand its psychological impact and take a preventative, rather than reactive, approach.

Community Healing.

Dear Black Prophets, Co. has been trained in the Association of Black Psychologists' Sawubona healing circles and offers our own Ujima healing circles to provide safe spaces for Black folx in response to traumatic events. Healing circles provide community support, engagement in African cultural practices, and the opportunity to process different emotions.

Support for Scholars

Dear Black Prophets, Co. hosts weekly co-working sessions for Black graduate and undergraduate students to bolster motivation, peer to peer support, and accountability through The Ujima Student Collective.

Connect with us for an authentic space for us, by us.

Culture.

Creating Zola Mondays is a bi-monthly Facebook Live Series that explores social commentary on the lives, culture, and optimal well-being of Black folx from the perspective of Black psychologists and Black psychology Doctoral Candidates. The series invites different experts, scholars, thought leaders, and healers to the Black table talk every month for topics relevant to US.

Art.

Dear Black Prophets, Co. is a huge proponent of the creative arts and as our elder states, Black folx are the miracles of modern time. Poems by Bleu is a product of Dear Black Prophets, Co. that centers poetry and mixed media art as a buffer and means to process racial trauma. Our art and culture have sustained civilization for millennia and it is as healing as it is revolutionary.
