“…This is because many of the Zulu people adhere to the moral imperative of Ubuntu, which is broadly understood to represent the idea that being exists in relation to one's community (Mangena, 2016). This collective sense of being is so intertwined into the cultural fabric that the standard greeting, Sawubona, which translates as "We see you", represents the enactment of one coming into existence through the eyes of another (Caldwell & Atwijuka, 2018). Indeed, according to Bishop via the Global Oneness Project ( 2006) "seeing is a dialogue" in which people are able to establish the phenomenon of another's personhood.…”

In 2020, The Association of Black Psychologists (ABPsi) drew attention to how the history of racism in the U.S. had created and exacerbated extant medical racial inequities to the detriment of Black people. In recognition that solutions based solely in Western frameworks cannot fully address the mental health needs of Black people, ABPsi began devoting collaborative efforts to develop culturally-grounded healing responses for the unique experiences of race-based invisibility and trauma. Amid the pandemic, people of African-descent also experienced a number of other mass racial traumas, including a wave of widely publicized police violence. Beginning with COVID-19, these intersecting pandemics of racism elucidated the need for healing, particularly culturally-grounding healing. In consultation with the Black Family Summit, ABPsi developed a pilot investigation, the Sawubona Healing Circle (SHC) initiative, which are culturally-grounding healing circles to support Black first-responders. Using an African-centered worldview, the circles recognize and validate the specific constellation of anti- Black traumas and stressors, and equip them with African-centered healing methods. This paper outlines the theory, development, implementation, and initial evaluation of the SHC intervention.
