More about Antonio:
Antonio Morales is a licensed clinical social worker and the founder of The Liberated Self Therapeutic Services, LLC, a private practice dedicated to serving the mental health needs of Black and Brown folk, across communities. As a psychotherapist and seminar facilitator, Antonio’s commitment (and the mission of his private practice) is to disrupt and dismantle the psychological chaos and confusion of white supremacy, facilitating a transformative process that will allow Black and Brown folk to heal from and transcend the adverse impact of white supremacy, in all areas of their lives.
Born and raised in Brooklyn, New York, Antonio identifies as a mixed race Afro Boricua and honors his indigenous African and Taino ancestors through his commitment, while grappling with the dilemma of knowing that European blood runs through his veins. As a product of the European colonization of the Western Hemisphere, Antonio understands the importance of addressing the historical, intergenerational, complex racial trauma that exists within him, as well as the communities he serves.
Antonio believes that healing from and transcending the adverse impact of white supremacy is, by default, revolutionary. The process of Black and Brown folk becoming self-actualized, whole and complete human beings, while giving ourselves permission to express our divine greatness, in the face of white supremacy, is the ultimate act of rebellion and a radicalized expression of liberation.
Understanding this, Antonio has created The Liberated Self Seminar, which is an intensive several day seminar, dedicated to Black and Brown folk, that guides participants into discovering their “double consciousness,” as they distinguish how white supremacy has infiltrated their psychology, revealing their own version of The Oppressed Self, which is the dehumanized version of who they’ve been conditioned to believe they are. Once they understand the truth about The Oppressed Self, they are taken through a process, intended to awaken their ancestral wisdom, as they become reacquainted with The Liberated Self, which is the humanized version of who they’re supposed to be. The Liberated Self Seminar is intended to be a catalyst in transcending the adverse impact of white supremacy.
