This really rings true for my experience taking a stance on my doctoral work. "there aren't often choices in docility".

[Dr. Justin Zimmerman @JZPhilosophy]

What often gets overlooked in “don’t rock the boat” discourse too is that sometimes you have to defend yourself and take strong stances to save your job. There aren’t often choices in docility for marginalized folks.

@KQEDForum I've grown up with a Pop who stutters. It's been hard to watch as other people have tried to finish his sentences( or mostly his orders at restaurants) and the collective urge to just "keep things moving". I have deep respect for his experience & the patience he has modeled forme

[Amelia Ortega, LCSW, TCYM @transformSW_Ed]

BIPOC mental health providers! Have you received training or peer support to implement Racial Trauma screening for your practice? Would you like to include screening and assessment for racial trauma in your work? @mfktherapy @TMoss_PhD @JamaliMoses

ASWB is now funding research to “ensure equity” by identifying “pipeline variables that account for differences in pass rates.”

@ASWB, the problem isn’t “pipeline variables.” The problem is your racist exam. The call is coming from inside the house!

As a DSW student I am conscious of the academy's strategies for teaching/learning centering many of these. How are researchers addressing white supremacy culture through the work itself? Seeking strategies for disrupting the status quo! @TMoss_PhD @MattheaMarquart @Jcreswellbaez

ok so i have a tiktok series where i discuss 15 characteristics of white supremacy culture. i’m going to link them in this thread with highlights:
