We are witnessing a beautiful return! As mental health research honors Afro-centric counseling approaches, it echoes what we have always known: our traditional ways of healing are powerful and valid. For generations, our communities have carried wisdom in circle, in ceremony, in storytelling, and in the sacred act of listening to the soul. The shift is not just progress: it is restoration.
This recognition means reclaiming our breath, honoring our elders, and centering the full humanity of Black voices in our wellness journeys. It says: “Our healing is medicine. Our lineage is science. Our truth is worthy.”
Let us celebrate this affirmation and keep forging paths for holistic wellness rooted in our heritage!
