Every person receiving a degree in psychology should have read Even the Rat Was White at least once. Dr. Guthrie covers eugenics, psychometric scientism, psychology of race(ism), and early Black psychologists. #BlackHistoryMonth

Happy Black History Month. I am going to celebrate the month by highlighting the contributions of Black psychology and Black psychologists.

If you can't nap or sleep well. You can still sit or lay down and daydream and breathe. You can still slow down. You can recline. You can mediate. You can rest your eyes.

So damn tired of living in a country that treats Black grief as a threat and white rage as a sacrament

If telling the truth sows division, then....................... the unity isn’t real 🤷🏾‍♀️

We’ve experienced yet another unimaginable loss as a community. Each new loss complicates the previous ones, which is why you may be feeling lots of big feelings right now. Here are a few tips and podcast episodes you might find helpful right now. https://t.co/v4maouPDYq

My takeaway from my study was that we have to take grief as it comes. So I’m letting myself cry for Chadwick Boseman, the T’Challa of my black girl nerd heart

[Dr. Amanda Foster @AmandaFPhD]

I feel utterly bereft at the loss of Chadwick Boseman. I feel so much grief for him and his work and his family. But also, this is tapping into the collective cultural grief that’s been simmering for me and most Black people. Just so much unbelievably sadness

[Dr. Amanda Foster @AmandaFPhD]

We grieve all sorts of relationships, objects, ideas, places, expectations. Sometimes the grief doesn’t make obvious sense. A celebrity might wreck us whereas a relative’s loss might result in milder or more complicated feelings.

[petit marronage @aisha1908]

please for the love of Chadwick Boseman, and every other victim of cancer, DO NOT “no excuses” his life into some ableist missive. please.

Y’all can have that “I’ll sleep when I’m rich” mindset. Bc one thing about me ima go lay down.

[Namira Islam @namirari]

Diversity is who is in the room.

Inclusion is who has influence in that room.

Anti-racism is a mindset, way of being, and goal for a group of people in a room.

These are not interchangeable terms.

[Dr. Thema @drthema]

We are not only healing from what we’ve directly experienced but also the unhealed wounds of those who raised us. Interrupting these cycles is difficult, sacred work.
