“The event is being hosted by Coalition for Ancestral Indigenous Mental Health Approaches, formerly Indigenous Mental Health Awareness Network International (IMHANI).

Black/African people are the oldest peoples on earth and thus the first Indigenous peoples to exist. But global anti-Blackness works to disrupt Black Indigeneity. It is time for us as Black people to lovingly reconnect with and reclaim our Indigeneity and the wisdom it provides. We have so many depthful variations of Blackness as Black people and also many shared roots and commonalities to explore that transcend time and space. Our ancestors are calling, calling us to come together, calling us to heal from psycho-spiritual warfare and from anti-Blackness which we face not only from White folks but non-Black poc . We have Black Americans, a Black Latinx Caribbean person, and continental Africans presented.
