Happy Hump Day...thank goodness WE MADE IT, thus far! And another day into saluting African American women. Being that"hump" day is dedicated to "Working It Out," physically, emotionally, or mentally (or holistically together), which is what we are going to do by celebrating the work of Dr. Ann Kathleen Burlew.  Dr. Burlew is an author and currently a Professor of Psychology at the University of Cincinnati.

DIVA rules is highlighting Dr. Burlew for her continued research and dedicated work, on issues/concerns of mental health and substance abuse and its' correlation to the black community. Since obtaining her doctoral degree in Social Psychology, her postdoctoral work  focused on examining at-risk adolescents/youth and multicultural families.   Dr. Ann Kathleen Burlew is EXTRAORDINARY because of her diligent service in the counseling and psychology field for over 30 years.  


 I have read one of her texts' in multicultural counseling, called, Minority Issues in Mental Health; and she has a great perspective on working, identifying and the advancement of the lives' of minorities. 

Dr. Ann Kathleen Burlew has served as co-editor in chief for The Journal of Black Psychology
