Black psychology reclaims healing by centering African wisdom, confronting racism, and fostering true human connection. In this episode, Sharlee Dixon sits down with Dr. Donell Barnett, a distinguished counseling psychologist and former President of The Association of Black Psychologists. Donell has held various impactful roles, including Director of HIV Prevention Programs, Adjunct Professor of Psychology, Behavioral Health Clinic Director, Chief of Field Investigations and Program Evaluation for the US Army Public Health Center, and Administrator of Behavioral Health Services for the State of Illinois. His expertise spans trauma, the intersection of faith and wellness, and initiatives to enhance the health and well-being of communities marginalized by economic and social disparities. In our previous episode with Donell, we explored Black Psychology and his work with ABPsi. Today, we’re thrilled to dive deeper into the conversation, focusing on Black Psychology and the shaping of Black mental health.
