About this event

  • Event lasts 3 hours

    This workshop will utilize the high-profile rap feud between Drake and Kendrick Lamar as a lens to explore critical issues within the Black community.

    In this thought-provoking session, we will dissect and analyze the complexities of colorism, colonialism, and collective trauma, shedding light on the intersections of race, identity, and oppression. Through engaging discussions and interactive activities, participants will gain a deeper understanding of the divisive forces at play within Black culture and society.

    From the detrimental impact of historical legacies to the nuances of individualism versus collectivism, we will challenge conventional narratives and explore pathways to liberation and authentic identity. Drawing upon clinical interventions and real-world examples, attendees will leave equipped with practical strategies to navigate these complex dynamics and foster true authenticity within themselves and their communities.

    Don't miss this opportunity to decolonize your practice and awaken in your inner conscious clinician. Reserve your spot today!
