Psychology of Black Womanhood Symposium

The Third Annual Psychology of Black Womanhood Symposium

The roots of The Psychology of Black Womanhood run deep at Spelman College, the nation’s first historically Black college for women. Spelman College played an essential role in bringing this groundbreaking work to life—recognizing the importance of scholarship centered on Black women and supporting the project from its earliest stages.

​

Now, for the third year, we are returning to Spelman College for the The Psychology of Black Womanhood—a dynamic gathering where research moves beyond the page and into the real world.

​

Building on the momentum of our first two years, the Third Annual Psychology of Black Womanhood Symposium brings together scholars, practitioners, students, community leaders, and advocates to explore the research, experiences, and issues shaping Black women’s lives today. Inspired by The Psychology of Black Womanhood book, the Symposium creates a space where academic scholarship meets clinical practice, community wisdom, creative expression, and lived experience.

​

Throughout the day, leading scholars, researchers, clinicians, and community experts will share new perspectives, spark meaningful conversations, and explore how psychological research can help us better understand the complexity, resilience, joy, challenges, and brilliance of Black women and girls.

​

This is more than a symposium. It is a growing community—and a space for learning, connection, conversation, and celebration.
