The Pediatric Speech Sister Show Podcast: Building Culturally Responsive Practice with Melanie Y. Evans, MS CCC-SLP

How Can the Young Generation of Black SLPs Uplift Each Other in Our Profession?
It’s true that Black SLPs are underrepresented in our field. The good news is more of us are joining the profession and making necessary changes! This has been a slow and steady process.
Here are some major points from IG Live discussion with Jordyn:
🖤 There is strength in numbers. Other Black SLP/As, SLPs2Be, and aspiring SLPs2Be should be encouraged join and make changes in our profession.
🖤 Be loud and proud about our profession and what we do! This is a good way to encourage other Black potential SLPs to join the field.
🖤 EACH of us have the power and a part to play in making changes in our field!
🖤 Authenticity is the best way to make connections in this profession. Be yourself!
