As a Fulbright-Hays scholar, Kevin (Mwata) explored the role of social institutions in healing and restructuring post-apartheid South Africa (Azania). There, he studied Ubuntu and its potential to transform mental health services for people of Afrikan ancestry and beyond.
Mwata is deeply committed to addressing the psycho-spiritual wounds caused by Cultural and Historical Trauma. He continues to develop healing paradigms for persons of Afrikan descent impacted by Persistent Enslavement Systemic Trauma (PEST). As the founder of Ubuntu Psychotherapy, he pioneers a culturally centered approach to mental health counseling and psychotherapy, particularly for Black men, boys, and Afrikan families.
His research extends to the healing power of the drum in addressing addiction, behavioral challenges in children, and fostering personal, marital, and family harmony. Additionally, he explores Kemetic Yoga as a tool for personal empowerment, peace, and prosperity, further advancing psycho-spiritual wellness in the Black/Afrikan community.
NOMMO
According to the Dogon people of West Afrika, Nommo represents the power of the spoken word—holding heat, moisture, and the ability to create life. For Afrikan people across the world, the spoken word has always carried immense power, and those who master it are deeply respected. Through his voice, Mwata continues this tradition, using words to inspire, heal, and transform.
