🌍 The Circle is Calling.

The National Association of Black Psychologists, Inc. (ABPsi) is proud to celebrate and uplift the incredible work of the UK ABPsi, as they prepare to host “Healing in the Circle of Life”—a powerful four-day gathering in the beautiful island of Dominica dedicated to African-centred psychology, collective healing, scholarship, and community.

This is more than a conference.

It is an invitation to reconnect with ancestral wisdom, engage in transformative dialogue, and explore healing practices that honor our shared traditions while advancing the science and practice of African-centred psychology. The program brings together researchers, clinicians, students, community leaders, healers, artists, and changemakers from across the African diaspora.

Whether you have research to present, a story to share, or a desire to learn in community, there is a place for you in the circle.

✨ Join us in supporting UK ABPsi as they continue to expand the global movement for the liberation of the African mind, the empowerment of the African character, and the enlivenment of the African spirit.

� Join us LIVE for a special replay of Creating Zola Mondays!

As we prepare for the 57th Annual International Convention of the Association of Black Psychologists, we’re revisiting a powerful conversation featuring Baba Anthony Browder, renowned author, historian, and educator.

This thought-provoking episode explores the importance of African-centered knowledge, history, and cultural consciousness—setting the stage for one of this year’s most anticipated convention experiences: the Egypt on the Potomac excursion.

Whether you’re planning to attend the convention or simply want to deepen your understanding of African history and its relevance today, this is a conversation you won’t want to miss.
