Reclaiming Black Brilliance: African Ancestral History & Identity |The Multicultural Podcast

In this powerful and eye-opening episode of The Multicultural Podcast, Dr. Laverne H. Collins is joined by special guest Dr. Maxine Bryant, PhD, to shed light on a topic that demands greater recognition—the role of African ancestral history in understanding Black American brilliance.

Too often, narratives around Blackness have been distorted, minimized, or outright erased. This conversation aims to correct that by highlighting the truths, traditions, and triumphs that define Black history—not just in struggle, but in strength, intelligence, innovation, and brilliance.

Together, they explore:
How false narratives about Black identity were created and publicized
The importance of ancestral connection in reclaiming cultural pride
The historical brilliance and global contributions of Black people
Why restoring this knowledge is key to healing, empowerment, and generational legacy

This is more than a history lesson—it’s a call to remember, reclaim, and rise. Whether you’re a student of history, a mental health advocate, or someone searching for deeper cultural understanding, this episode will speak to your spirit and expand your view.

Welcome to Our Channel | The MultiCultural MindSet with Dr. LaVerne Hanes Collins 🧠✨

At The MultiCultural MindSet, we are committed to reshaping mental health conversations through a multi-cultural, intersectional, and decolonized lens. As mental health professionals, we recognize that traditional therapy models often fail to address the unique experiences of marginalized communities, especially African Americans and other racialized groups affected by societal racism.

I’m Dr. LaVerne Hanes Collins, and I am passionate about decolonizing therapy and providing counselor training that challenges outdated, Eurocentric frameworks. Our content is designed to educate, empower, and transform the way we think about mental health, healing, and inclusivity in counseling.

What We Offer on This Channel:
✅ Multi-cultural mental health discussions designed for therapists, counselors, and individuals seeking culturally affirming healing
✅ Decolonizing therapy—breaking free from rigid, Western-centered models of mental health care
✅ Counseling African Americans—addressing the impact of societal racism and intergenerational trauma in mental wellness
✅ Counselor training & professional development—helping mental health professionals integrate intersectionality and inclusivity in counseling
✅ Explaining decolonization—how historical oppression shapes today’s mental health practices and what we can do to challenge it
✅ Fostering inclusivity in mental health spaces—because healing should reflect diverse lived experiences
✅ Real conversations, expert insights, and community-centered approaches to mental wellness

If you are a mental health professional, student, advocate, or someone seeking healing from a decolonized perspective, we invite you to join this journey with us. Together, we can create a more inclusive, just, and culturally responsive approach to mental health care.
