Making Lemonade: The Sweetness of Her Existence, the Sour of Her Oppression, and the Magic of Her Evolution

Friday, March 8, 2019 · Paris, France

Cultural Psychology

Making lemonade is synonymous with methods of surviving oppression at various points in our existence as Black women and girls. This elixir helps assuage a history of gendered-racism embedded in predominantly White academic and healthcare settings. This symposium explores generational trauma, healing practices, and culturally relevant interventions for practicing professionals.
