Abstract
This paper introduces the term "Black-bodied" as an offering and to guide a self-reflection account of the praxis of community psychology upon receiving the 2023 award for Distinguished Contribution to Practice in Community Psychology from Division 27. This paper aims to shift the field of community psychology through a personal account of witnessing patterns of Black-bodied resistance, healing, and love in research and what it means to embrace these practices to reimagine the practice of community psychology in communities that have been racially marginalized and minoritized. This self-reflective account shares patterns of resistance, healing, and love in community-driven research and the implications of those patterns on self and communal transformation. The authors shares how the field of community psychology can do research differently.
