To all my BIPOC Social Workers out there, what type of social work do you do?
#bipocsocialworksky

I do both when the situation calls for it. Sometimes they catch me on the right day.

It’s okay. My mission to change the stigma in black mental health will not be deterred

Me trying to gather myself before I crash out...

I’m an LMSW in a school setting and I provide mental health services across the population. Prior to that, I worked in the youth and community development field. End game is to earn my C because I want to start a private practice. Welcome!

I didn’t realize how pervasive it was until I started observing my upperclassman the last couple of weeks.

Just because someone keeps coming back to you doesn’t mean you’re special.. it could mean you lack boundaries and they know you’ll always welcome them back with open arms.

If you could recommend one podcast to your clients to listen to, what would it be?

I love this! It’s breaking down the idea of what therapy is supposed to look like. I think about the question I posted because I have to remind myself every day that I’m someone’s first intro into a mental health space, so who and what do I project to them.

What does showing up for yourself look like? Genuinely interested in your response.

Bluesky is ushering in a pick-your-own algorithm era of social media Nearly 20 million people have joined Bluesky, a social network that gives you fine-grained control over what you see and who you interact with. I think it is the future of social media, says Chris Sto...

Thanks for mentioning the #Blacksky feeds @stokel.bsky.social on @newscientist.bsky.social

Chris was the first journalist to interview me about Blacksky and is still the only one that seemed to really get it.

Because it represents beef we have with people that actually don’t bring nothing to the table.

As a #blacktherapistssky, how do you bring your authentic self into your work?

As a #bipocsocialworksky, why did you choose to enter into this field?

I’m more bothered that she was never called out on her bs by her friends. The few times they tried to she gaslit them into thinking their school of thought was wrong. If you can’t be honest with your homegirls, are you really friends?

When I first watched it in the 90’s as a kid (tv on mute so my mom couldn’t hear) I idolized her to the point where I was gifted a MacBook so I could be a writer. Watching now, Carrie projected her insecurities on to all of her friends. I think Sam and Charlotte had better main character energy.

If you’re referring to Carrie Bradshaw, then let the conversation begin!

We need your voice!

This is how I feel about German Shepherds. It’s no way you can convince that me they’re not still carrying around that hate towards us.

I play my hardcore rap and trap music on my way to work to get me through the morning hellos and then before my first sessions of the day I listen to some Black Girl Lofi music. Depending on the how day goes it’ll stay on a hip hop playlist or smooth rnb.

When I’m with students (high school age) I let them be the DJ. My Spotify is pretty eclectic because of them. On my own, I try to play the most appropriate Black music in my office to drown out my counterparts.

To my Social Workers out there, what field are you currently in? I’m the school field with an emphasis on mental health #bipocsocialworksky

When I work with students on this, I first have them tell me when the test is and then I use the session(s) to help them become “experts” in the content. If they can explain it out loud they’re more likely to retain in.
