New from Social Justice Origin Stories: "The Justice We Imagine"
Subscribe on YouTube | Follow on Apple Podcasts | Follow on Spotify Although much of the storytelling so far in Social Justice Origin Stories has taken the form of 1:1 conversations, I try to bring the voices of the storytellers together whenever I can.

Catalysts for Change: Racial Equity in Social Work Education
There’s a quote I first heard in grad school that says: “Because oppression is seen as systemic, we tend to absolve ourselves of blame, but unless someone chooses to identify themselves with institutions and systems, the act of honest confession will never take place.” In this clip, I talk with my good friend and fellow Macro Social Worker and Equity Advocate Surabhi Pandit about how our…

An Open Letter to the Parents and Families of College Students: Embracing Change and Unconditional Love
I wrote this letter in 2015, but a recent experience encouraged me to share it again in a new way. As someone who has worked in higher education and has supported students in processing things they don’t feel they can share with their families because of the ways their parents and/or others close to them have responded in the past, I feel compelled to speak on the impact of that isolation with…

These Quotes from Dr. King Deserve More Attention
In reflection on Dr. King’s life and legacy I gathered a few quotes from him that I feel could use a lot more attention than they currently receive.

Can We Talk About College Majors?
I saw a message online recently which said “Can we talk about college majors.

What hurts worse is when that discouragement comes from those who are…

“How Redlining Shaped Black America as We Know it”
Check out this video from The Root that describes the design of one of white supremacy’s most insidious and lasting design strategies: Redlining. “To understand racism in America, one must first disabuse themselves of the idea that race is a social construct—an idea that has been created and accepted by the people in a society.
