The Bakari© Project: A Lifeline for African American Adolescent Development and Success

Abstract: The Bakari© Project is an African-centered, community-based, educational, and mentoring program for adolescent youth. The program is designed to address the challenges Black youth and other youth of color face in negotiating the community terrain between the home, school, and community, including the contact young people often encounter with law enforcement and the criminal justice systems.

“…We used a team-based ethnographic approach guided by the Participatory Culture-Specific Intervention Model (PC-SIM; Nastasi et al, 2004; Varjas et al, 2005) and reflections on culturally competent qualitative research among people of African descent (Lyons et al, 2012). Africentric models have emphasized cooperative approaches to cultivating relationships, developing skills, and increasing self-awareness (Caldwell-Gunes & Parham, 2020) and collective approaches that include storytelling through testifying and facilitated group processes (Chioneso et al, 2020).…”

“…KNRT also complements various racial identity models. The KNRT approach may help people to navigate the formation of racial identity better, which may have implications for dealing with issues of race and racism within a variety of contexts, including educational settings and clinical work (Caldwell-Gunes & Parham, 2020; Liu et al, 2019; Worrell et al, 2020). For example, KNRT may be helpful in overcoming the distress associated with Black self-hatred identity.…”

“…KNRT appears to be complementary to other cultural-based approaches. PVEST emphasizes the necessity of being aware of and changing contextual factors that impact human development, and KNRT offers a conceptually viable approach for achieving such changes, ranging from internalized racism to structural racism (Caldwell-Gunes & Parham, 2020;Leary, 2005;Spencer et al, 1997). KNRT also complements various racial identity models.…”
