Kwame Scruggs identifies reading The Autobiography of Malcolm X as his “turning point,” the event that kicked-off his “process of individuation.” This encounter with the revolutionary ideas, activism, self-respect, and evolution of Malcolm X ultimately sent Kwame Scruggs on a path towards a Ph.D. in Mythology and a life engaged with myth and depth psychology. Along the way, Kwame began to understand more about the individuation journey of Malcolm X as well.

In this 90min salon + Q&A, Kwame Scruggs, Ph.D., will explore the biography of Malcolm X through a depth psychological lens, highlighting the ways in which he detoxed from the dominant cultural narratives of white supremacy and patriarchy and ultimately integrated his once projected anima, shadow, and Wise Old Man.
