Meet BIHAPI's Founder, Danielle Leach

BIHAPI, which stands for Black Identity and Health in African People International is the brainchild of Danielle Leach, conceived while working towards her PhD in Clinical Psychology. After designing her first research study in 2017 to asses Black Identity Development and Acculturation in African-American parents and Implicit Racial Bias in children, Danielle was inspired to launch an organization surrounding her research interests that would build upon her current studies to explore identity and health within various demographics of African people across the diaspora internationally. BIHAPI consists of 12 chapters uniting over 66 countries from across the world.
