| As we continue to face the COVID-19 pandemic, NYABPsi (a chapter of Association of Black Psychologists, ABPsi) supports its communities in remaining safe and centered. During this time, we encourage our communities to strengthen our minds and spirits by increasing our self-knowledge, extended self identity, and taking time to remember our heritage. This resource list, offered through NYABPsi’s Harambee Initiative, offers a selection of podcasts, reading lists, and online learning opportunities meant to build upon and expand our knowledge of ourselves, our communities, and the world around us. |
