The Cultural Wellness Center
Creating Healthier People, Healthier Communities, & Healthier Systems
The Cultural Wellness Center is a transformative space that incubates culturally-based solutions to real world problems. Our work at the Cultural Wellness Center is to move from race to culture. By engaging the generative practice of moving from race to culture, one engages the transformative path to becoming oneself through the lens of culture. The knowledge produced from this process creates the space for one to heal themselves and build community.
This symbol embodies the core principles of the Cultural Wellness approach. It represents a unique way of distributing responsibility, making decisions, and promoting growth based on African cultural values. Unlike traditional Western business structures, this approach emphasizes shared authority and self-reflection, without a rigid hierarchy. It guides how the organization governs itself, measures excellence, and achieves its goals of fostering healthier people, communities, and systems. This symbol encourages open discussions about how the organization operates and uses its resources to make a lasting impact.
