2025 Black Muslim Psychology Conference

SelebeYoon: The Crossroads | 10th Anniversary CelebrationABOUT THIS EVENT 2025 BLACK MUSLIM PSYCHOLOGY CONFERENCE (BMPC2025) For the past decade, BMPC has been a transformative gathering space for BLACK MUSLIMS TO EXPLORE MENTAL HEALTH, spirituality, identity, and liberation. Founded by the _*MUSLIM WELLNESS FOUNDATION (MWF)_* , what began in 2015 as a response to racial injustice, Islamophobia, and the urgent need for culturally relevant mental health frameworks has evolved into the only conference of its kind - the premier Black Muslim wellness gathering in the nation. ​ _*IN 2025, BMPC CELEBRATES ITS 10TH ANNIVERSARY WITH A LANDMARK CONVENING IN CHICAGO UNDER THE THEME “SELEBEYOON: THE CROSSROADS”.__ Rooted in the Wolof word SelebeYoon, this theme acknowledges the pivotal moments in our collective and individual journeys—spaces where paths intersect, choices are made, and transformation begins. __FOR TEN YEARS, BMPC HAS TILLED THE SOIL—BREAKING GROUND, PLANTING SEEDS OF GROWTH, AND CULTIVATING A SPACE WHERE BLACK MUSLIMS CAN HEAL AND THRIVE.__ Now, we stand at the crossroads. In alignment with MWF’s 2025 focus, “ __Till the Soil, Nurture the Soul_* ,” we are inviting the community to stand at the crossroads with us—to honor our roots, reflect on our past milestones and achievements, and imagine a thriving future for Black Muslim wellness. It is time to harvest the lessons and step boldly into our collective future. AT BMPC2025, WE WILL EXPLORE THESE QUESTIONS: * WHAT LESSONS FROM THE _*_PAST DECADE OF BMPC_ _*DO WE CARRY FORWARD? * WHAT _*_NEW DIRECTIONS_ _*MUST WE TAKE TO NURTURE THE SOUL OF OUR COMMUNITIES? * HOW DO WE NAVIGATE OUR IDENTITIES, HISTORIES, AND ASPIRATIONS IN AN EVER-CHANGING WORLD? * HOW DO WE STRENGTHEN OUR MENTAL, EMOTIONAL, AND SPIRITUAL WELL-BEING TO BUILD A FUTURE WHERE BLACK MUSLIMS THRIVE? PLEASE NOTE: * At BMPC, we use and understand the term "psychology" in a broad sense - a term that includes overall mental health, emotional wellness, and spiritual fortitude. Therefore, this is an INTERDISCIPLINARY CONFERENCE - it is NOT for mental health professionals only. * We do not offer childcare and encourage you to make appropriate arrangements. * Registration for BMPC2025 is non-refundable.
