Still reeling from the power felt this weekend at the National Association for Puerto Rican and Hispanic Social Workers conference! It was such a dynamic day of discussing racial disparities in social work, as well as ways to remain resilient and challenge the systems that continue to affect people of color in the mental health field.
I felt the ancestors in the room watching a fruitful discussion amongst colleagues about how we can honor and respect not only our clients’ sovereignty, but also their spiritual gifts within “pathology first” framework.
I have so many ideas in my mind to birth after being inspired by this event.
I’m particularly proud of myself because as a mama raising an awesome toddler, I have two days per week right now to run a practice and all of my other projects and still made this happen. These are the stories I get to tell my daughter. These are the legacies we can leave for our communities.
I’m so grateful for Spirit’s constant whisper in my ear and for getting to be of service as this medicine’s vessel.
More projects to come!s weelenf d
