Explore the utilization and adoption of the Healer Women fighting Disease Model which uses the technique of re-Africanizing as a prevention model for HIV prevention and the achievement of the HIV/AIDS Millennium Goal.

Proposed Follow Up Activity

The Association of Black Psychologists should partner with our professional colleagues throughout Africa to engage in the development and advancement of an African Psychology (grounded in African philosophy and wisdom traditions in order to liberate the African mind) to design and implement African centered mental health programming for both Continental and Diasporan African people.

As Executive Director of the Institute for the Advanced Study of Black Family Life and Culture, Inc., I will assign the Institute’s Scholar in Residents to identify and partner with African traditional healers and African centered healing practitioners to design, implement and evaluate programs for utilizing traditional African healing in combination with the best of Western and other healing traditions.

With the approval of the Board of Directors of the Institute for the Advanced Study of Black Family Life and Culture, Inc., we will develop and deploy a technical design team to establish, throughout Africa, “Family Life and Culture” field sites capable of conducting on-going in-vivo African Centered research, health and healing services.

The Fulfillment of Ancestral Possibility and Divine Destiny

The implication this moment in time has for The Association of Black Psychologists, especially our students and new career professionals, is almost unimaginable. The ABPsi--and the discipline of Black Psychology that we have created--are being recognized as essential to the healing of the perpetual damage resulting from a world made toxic by colonialism, slavery and dehumanization. As evidenced by the call of Haiti and Katrina and the unrelenting psychic and physical assault, trauma and tragedy in Black communities throughout the world, the restoration and rebirthing of the African family and psyche to health and wholeness may very well depend on what we, The Association of Black Psychologists, offer to the world. Black Psychology, grounded in African philosophy and wisdom traditions from the Continent and the Diaspora, can heal the world. This is what we have been made for. This is what we came from heaven to do. This is our time. We are the fulfillment of Ancestral Possibility and Divine Destiny.

Spoken Medicine: HIV/AIDS and 4-stage Glioblastoma (Brain Cancer):  Key to Prevention and Intervention

By Dr. Vera L. Nobles, Oakland, CA

Standing on own Cultural Ground in Healing and HIV Prevention

“The fundamental task and challenge of the African centered scholar/intellectual is to defend and promote the interest and image of Africa and Africa’s children by understanding the past, present and future of our human story through the Africanization of the epistemological, terminological, aesthetic and hermeneutical groundings of the scientific, artistic and investigative discourse” (Nobles, 2009). Likewise, both healing and HIV/AIDS prevention require us to simultaneously understand the past, present and future of Africa and Africa’s children and ground the healing, therapeutic process and rehabilitative discourse in an African episteme and praxis.

In our cultural tradition, to heal is to regenerate the body’s energy (spirit). We have used different techniques to do this: (1) Nature The earth (futu) has the ability to heal through the nkisi which are the healing plants (in other words the Earth’s pharmacology); (2) Traditional rituals; (3) Collective action (family reunions, dancing, singing, picnics, carnivals, prayer circles, parades; and (4) Spoken medicine which usesNommo the power of the spoken word. Today, we must stand on our own cultural ground to achieve total health and healing if we are to experience a restoration of wholeness.

The Healer Women Fighting Disease Integrated Substance Abuse and HIV Prevention Program

Health disparities in the African American community have been recognized in every Surgeon General’s report since 1985. The disparity found in HIV/AIDS is monumental. Since 1995 more African Americans were reported with HIV/AIDS than any other racial/ethnic group. Although African Americans represent only 13% of the national population, they represent more than 50% of the new cases reported.

The Healer Women Fighting Disease Integrated Substance Abuse and HIV Prevention Program research demonstrated significant changes in behavior among African American women that could lead to reduction in HIV/AIDS rates (Nobles, Goddard & Gilbert, 2009).  The Healer Women group experienced “Re-Africanizing” (a shift or change in their personality attributes and behavioral dispositions). The research clearly suggests that in regards to utilizing an African Centered Behavioral Change HIV/STD Prevention model, the state of  “character refinement”, “cognitive restructuring” and “cultural realignment” for African American women at risk of contracting HIV/AIDS reflected a “standing on new cultural grounding” (different “mode of being”) at the end of the prevention experience.

Standing on our own cultural ground can never be overstated. To do less is to turn our backs on our ancestors.  We need their support. I have had the honor of personally knowing, working and studying with an Nganga from the Kongo, a Babalawo from Nigeria, an Okomfo from Ghana, an Ndepp from Senegal, and a Sangoma from South Africa. Europeans are draining our Holy ones of the information that we need for our renaissance. Unfortunately, we call the work of the Holy ones old fashioned and witchcraft.  They and their gifts from God need our support and protection.

It is, therefore, recommended that as part of the African Renaissance, we systematically link or connect traditional African healing techniques with modern medicine and the best of any other healing traditions.  HIV/AIDS prevention programs in Africa should explore the Healer Women fighting Disease Model which uses the technique of re-Africanizing as a prevention model for HIV prevention and the achievement of the HIV/AIDS Millennium Goal. I also recommend to the commission that as part of the African Renaissance, we link or connect traditional African healing techniques with modern medicine and the best of any other healing traditions.
