This panel will explore the intersection of Black identity, cultural narratives, and the psychedelic renaissance. Featuring thought leaders, researchers, and artists, the discussion will examine the historical context of psychedelics in African and Afro-diasporic traditions, the challenges faced by Black communities in accessing these healing modalities, and the potential of psychedelics to address systemic trauma and promote collective liberation. The session aims to highlight the unique contributions of Black voices in the psychedelic movement and inspire inclusive practices in psychedelic science and therapy.
