Lucina Kayee is a Liberian born psychotherapist, special education school social worker, photographer, and documentary filmmaker whose work sits at the intersection of healing, research, and storytelling. She earned her Master of Social Work from St. Catherine University and is a Licensed Graduate Social Worker in Minnesota.

Lucina is the Founder and Executive Director of Atlas of Blackness, a grassroots multimedia and research driven organization dedicated to documenting, preserving, and celebrating the stories of Black communities across generations. Through participatory arts, documentary filmmaking, and youth led research, Atlas of Blackness equips Black youth, particularly those impacted by the foster care and juvenile justice systems, with the tools to document their experiences and imagine new possibilities for their futures.

Grounded in the belief that healing is not about fixing brokenness but remembering wholeness, Lucina brings a trauma informed, culturally rooted, and relational approach to both her clinical and creative work. As a psychotherapist and school based special education social worker, she supports youth and adults navigating grief, trauma, identity, and life transitions, often integrating mindfulness, storytelling, and body awareness into her practice.
