Sally Spencer-Thomas A3A: "Africanity" - which are community supporting beliefs and practices that originated on the African continent - have survived enslavement and modern-day racism. #ElevateTheConvo

Dr. JaNaè Taylor (she/her) Yes. #NAAPIMA has a program called Achieving Whole Health -- Balancing Body, Mind, and Spirit. It is a mental wellness program that is holistic. #Elevatetheconvo
