Alberta Black Therapists
Shayla S. Dube is a Zimbabwean-born, Canada-based therapist, truth-teller, storyteller, and community builder grounded in the principles of Ubuntu and cultural humility. She is the co-founder of the Alberta Black Therapists Network and founder of both Wellness Empowered Community Services and Sabuntu Intercultural Society. Shayla is dedicated to decolonizing mental health, fostering culturally safe and relationally grounded spaces, and advancing racial equity in therapeutic practice. Drawing on ancestral wisdom, intergenerational storytelling, and communal care, she supports healing that affirms the full humanity of Black women and racialized communities. Her work is guided by the belief that wellness is collective, and that true healing happens in relationship, not in isolation.
