In this powerful episode, Dr. Juan Pablo Galindo sits down with Dr. Nicholas Powers, author of Black Psychedelic Revolution: From Trauma to Liberation, to discuss the often-overlooked relationship between psychedelics and the Black community. Dr. Powers unpacks the historical erasure of Black and Indigenous psychedelic traditions, the intersection of systemic oppression and the War on Drugs, and the radical potential of psychedelics as tools for personal and collective healing.

Together, they explore how psychedelic therapy can address intergenerational trauma, reconnect communities with their ancestral traditions, and challenge the structures that have historically marginalized Black and Brown people from these healing modalities. From historical injustices to visions of liberation, this conversation offers deep insight into how psychedelics could play a role in reshaping society and fostering true interconnectedness.
