✊🏿🌈 What does belonging look like when race, skin tone, gender, and queerness all enter the therapeutic space?
For African-centered, Black, and culturally responsive mental health professionals, addressing colorism is part of understanding the historical and contemporary forces that shape how our clients experience beauty, gender, desirability, safety, visibility, and belonging.

Designed for psychologists and other mental health professionals, this training examines colorism as a historical and racialized system and explores its intersections with gender identity, gender expression, sexuality, and psychological well-being.
Participants will consider how racialized constructions of femininity, masculinity, beauty, desirability, aggression, softness, and safety can influence identity, relationships, belonging, and what happens within the therapeutic relationship itself.
Together, we’ll strengthen our ability to recognize colorism in clinical spaces and apply culturally responsive practices when working with Two-Spirit, transgender, non-binary, and gender-expansive clients. Because culturally grounded care asks us to see the whole person and to understand the histories, systems, and communities that shape how we come to know ourselves and one another.
