A biomythography introducing the Blafemme Healing framework
1WELLS Healing Center.
Abstract:
Black feminism has so much to offer. Its philosophical, intellectual, and activist practice grounded in the experiences of Black women is a source of healing and liberation. Building on the Black feminist tradition, the current article introduces an intersectional and practical healing framework titled Blafemme Healing. The framework is designed to support individuals in exploring personal healing regardless of their social location while intentionally providing mechanisms for increasing the experience and outcome of wellness, equity, love, liberation, and survival for Black people. The framework includes eight areas, or chambers, that require people's attention if we are to achieve personal and collective wellness. The author, a Black queer cisgender woman pursuing personal and collective wellness and healing through and beyond the field of psychology, uses the biomythography method to introduce and describe Blafemme Healing.
