What happens when a people are taught to see themselves through someone else's definition of humanity? This question lies at the center of the work of Dr. Na'im Akbar, one of the leading voices in African-centered psychology.
This workshop introduces participants to Akbar's powerful ideas about identity, history, culture, and liberation. Drawing from works such as Breaking the Chains of Psychological Slavery and Know Thyself, we will explore the importance of self-definition, historical memory, spiritual grounding, and community responsibility in the pursuit of psychological freedom.
Participants will examine how systems of oppression shape self-perception and how recovering cultural knowledge can become a pathway toward healing, purpose, and empowerment. Through discussion and reflection, we will consider Akbar's central insight: true liberation requires more than political or economic freedom—it also requires freedom of the mind.
Whether you are new to African-centered thought or seeking a deeper understanding of Black psychology, this workshop offers an engaging introduction to one of the field's most influential thinkers.
