She is also quite the foodie and is always ready to offer great opinions on the local cuisine!
*Today’s African American Pioneer in Mental Health. Joseph L. White is sometimes referred to as "the father of Black psychology." He wrote the groundbreaking article "Toward a Black Psychology," which is credited as being the first-ever strengths-based (rather than deficit-based) evaluation and description of Black behavior and culture. He passionately advocated for the creation of Black psychology, arguing that applying white psychology to Black people often unfairly created the illusion of Black inferiority, when ultimately it was a reflection of the culturally irrelevant psychological principles being applied. He also helped found the Association of Black Psychologists as well as the Black Studies program at San Francisco State University in 1968.
