Book Description
This is a story meant to be a beacon of hope and inspiration for the minority women in speech-language pathology who find themselves struggling with a sense of belonging in their field. It follows the autobiographical accounts of Barbara Fernandes, an adult immigrant to the US, as she embarks on her journey as a CSD student learning both English and Spanish. It tells of her struggles facing isolation, microaggressions, and her own internal battles to eventually become one of the most successful entrepreneurs within the SLP field. The journey from striving to thriving is amplified by the inclusion of her many Black and Brown, Latinx, Asian, and immigrant colleagues as they open up to share their own relatable challenges to persist within their field. The book serves as a rallying cry for unity and tolerance amongst minority SLPs, and it offers hope for minoritized SLP women. Lastly, it goes one final step further, asking much-needed, deep, and thought-provoking questions intended to push the field forward.Foreword by Vicki Deal-Williams, MA CCC-SLPContributors:Maria Claudia Franca, PhD., CCC-SLPLeila Regio, B.AEbony Green M.S CCC-SLPEnjoli M.

Sister to Sister: Essence of Life

ISBN: 1483699633
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 66
Book Description
I absolutely love the concept of this book since it allowed me to pen what was in my heart without restrictions. Conversations such as these are good therapy for the soul and should be held at least once a month. Taking time out to share is important and the way the book is written, the characters could be any two or three individuals. The book allows you to insert yourself and whomever you choose to have a conversation with. At first when the Lord did not provide names of the main characters, I could not understand why but when He began to reveal to me that it is done intentionally because it affords the readers the chance to plug in their own name and the names of friends. There is enough time for formality and to me when sharing in this type of setting; it removes barriers so you can let your hair down. I hope everyone who reads these books is richly blessed by the conversations and are able to share in it with us.
