Meet and greet with the “Mother of Black Hair Psychology” to start off spring. Dr. Lewis uses culture-centered methods to prevent the intergenerational transmission of the legacies of the historical trauma of slavery such as the acceptance or rejection of children based on hair type and the practice of colorism (valuing light skin color over darker skin tones). She is interested in the prevention and reduction of child abuse and neglect while strengthening parent-child attachment through the everyday ritual and routine of the hair combing task plus community-based parent support. She recently published a book entitled, “Therapeutic Cultural Routines to Build Family Relationships: Talk, Touch & Listen While Combing Hair.”
