The discovery that cultural intergenerational trauma unconsciously impacts the contemporary behavior of African Americans is transformational.
Discover how cultural trauma manifestations contribute to the MAGNITUDE of the self-destructive behaviors of African Americans.
Examine how unconscious, NEGATIVE MENTAL LEGACIES of cultural intergenerational trauma have shaped the identity and perceived self-value of African Americans.

Consider cultural methods of HEALING for individuals, families and communities.
GAIN a deeper understanding of African American behavior.
EXPLORE how African Americans can be better served and motivated.

In this one-of-a-kind workshop, participants will gather to examine cultural intergenerational trauma and its contemporary impact on the African American community and how it is integral to the challenges they face.
