Dr. Tolliver Atta, Board Member for the Chicago Chapter of the Association of Black Psychologists, is a mentor and was a tenured associate professor in DePaul University’s School for New Learning. She describes herself as a clinical psychologist by training, a healer by nature, and a Global SWF Ambassador. Her life’s mission is to help people “re-member” who they truly are, which she facilitates through her teaching, scholarship and service. Dr. Tolliver Atta has written and presented on African-centered education and psychology, spirituality and culture in adult learning, competence-based education, international education and program development, happiness, health and wellness, and healing from racism and oppression. She will be joined by SWF's Executive Director, Emmanuel Pratt.
