Keeping It Real
I am reminded of this quote from Ayi Kwei Armah (The Healers): “ The work of healers is work for inspirers working along and steadily, in a group that grows over the generations, till there are inspirers, healers wherever our people are scattered, able to bring us together again.”
Within this chapter, we are the healers of the land who desire to make a difference in all of the communities that we serve. Our chapter is one of several local chapters of our national organization, Association of Black Psychologists (ABPsi). Geographically, our Bay Area chapter supports (Alameda, Contra Costa, San Francisco, San Mateo, and Santa Clara Counties), where students and professionals from these areas are welcomed with open arms. I have watched this chapter grow. Our membership includes students and professionals in the fields of psychology, both research and clinical, education, and various other mental health professions. All of whom express a keen desire to make a difference in their communities.
