“If a race has no history, it has no worthwhile tradition, it becomes a negligible factor in the thought of the world.”
-Dr. Carter G. Woodson, Father of Black History
History Heals Consulting is a business devoted to using African American history as a vehicle to aid schools, institutions and businesses in fostering healthy and inclusive environments. Even though the lack of diversity and training has created many challenges in professional settings, History Heals offers learning opportunities, wellness support and valuable resources for participants so they may be able to operate as high-level professionals. History Heals promotes self and collective healing power along with unity, group solidarity and interconnectedness.
History Heals Consulting uses an Afrocentric Framework as a theoretical framework to help guide the values, philosophy and structural foundation of the services provided. Afrocentricity is a mode of thought and behavior in which the centrality of African interests, values and perspectives predominate.
Afrocentricity serves as a lens being opposed to all forms of oppression, racism, classism, homophobia, patriarchy, child abuse, pedophilia and colorism. In this sense it is a useful framework for today’s classrooms, professional settings and its diverse learners. The Afrocentric model serves as a tool indispensable to heal not only Blacks of African American descent, but also for the health and wellness of everyone in society–a society that is traumatized by the emotional, and spiritual damage of dehumanizing racial domination.
