CONTENT WARNING: Racialised Trauma
-
In this week's Black World News, Kehinde
Andrews makes plain Trump's so-called assassination attempt
(leaving one person dead and two wounded) and as Malcolm said of
Kennedy's assassination, "it's chickens coming home to roost."
However, it's not surprising as America is founded and sustained on
political violence: the first violence of the genocide of native
people, the second violence of enslaving us, and the third violence
of kicking the British out with the American Revolutionary War.
Much of the violence of the world today can be traced back to the
US and Western imperialism. This is America, this is the West.
This. Is. What. The System. Is.

In this week's official guest interview,
Kehinde Andrews talks with Guilaine Kinouani a
leading voice in Black psychiatry, psychology, and psychosocial
studies in the UK. They talk about her work as a clinician,
re-traumatizing mental health systems, being dissuaded from working
as a clinician as well as dealing with her own trauma as a
clinician with over 15 years of research and study including her
books Living While Black and White Minds. They
talk about the origin story of Race Reflections which started as a blog (now a
social enterprise) about not being silenced, and how it developed.
They highlight the Certificate in Working with Racial Trauma
training.

Guilaine Kinouani is a UK-based Paris-born woman
of Afrikan (Congolese) descent; an award-winning critical and
radical psychologist and group analyst, scholar, activist, and
"[she] likes to think…a bit of a fashion connoisseur." Guilaine is
also a current PhD (her second doctorate!) researcher, in
psychosocial studies, and founder of the social enterprise, Race
Reflections.
She's written three books: Living While Black:
The Essential Guide to Overcoming Racial Trauma (2021 +
Guardian Book of the Year), White Minds Everyday
Performance, Violence and Resistance (2023), and a third
book Creative Disruption: Psychosocial
Scholarship as Praxis is expected in November 2024.
