"Fiction for the Black Soul" is a collection of fictional conversations between black people in the African diaspora and Omar, a virtual therapist. The project envisions a future in which chatbots communicate with black people about racial trauma using advanced Natural Language Processing (NLP) and machine learning (ML). In this scenario, Omar attempts to help several individuals digest their experiences with racism. This research aims to explore how technology may be employed in the future to address the problem of diversity in psychotherapy for people of colour.
