Reunited at long last! There’s nothing like hanging with program besties…coordinating outfits were NOT planned! #SSWR2025
Om gosh I am having the PROUDEST advisor moment! Thanks for uplifting Labibah’s work!
Not enough serious coffee in Minnesota. Seattle is so good for me!

Y’all gotta include the decolonizing social work podcast, too! The episode on white supremacy culture and the one on mutual aid.
I’m at this very moment, redesigning our community practice course! It will be a bit different than yours but I want to recommend including anything from Kai Chang Thom if you’re going to talk about Community care. And I vote to have them read chapters from all the books!
Do people still write blogs? Do people still read blogs? Should I start a blog?
Congrats! Please come to SSW. Admin is looking for “training” - I did recommend they reach out to CDS but I don’t think it went anywhere.
