Dr. Coté will be on a panel with two other brilliant scholars and psychologists discussing his experiences and optimal holistic health perspectives regarding our community of Black LGBT+ persons.
The Black Psychology Program at CIIS (BPP@CIIS) is an African-centered workshop series and leadership development program that focuses on African ancestry students (with the inclusion of the broader CIIS community). The BPP@CIIS raises awareness of and support for Black Psychology as a field of study and for its application and practice in one’s life work (personally and professionally). A unique aspect of the program is the use of an African-centered leadership development and knowledge transfer praxis called Jegnaship. Jegnaship is a relational African-centered intentionally guided development process for intergenerational knowing and knowledge transfer that engages in a mutual co-learning approach (Deterville, 2020). The Jegnaship process will facilitate the sustainability of the program each academic year as new cohorts and program alumni are engaged as participants.
