Why Are SLPs So Afraid?
Listen now
Description
Dr. Jeanette Benigas and Megan Berg speak with Dr. Ianessa Humbert about why SLP is trapped in a culture of fear. The episode centers around the intersectionality of gender, race, and institutions of control. In a field full of majority white women who would rather uphold a broken system than let it crumble at the risk of losing their own position of privilege, this episode is one you don’t want to miss if you’ve ever asked yourself, “Why is this change taking so long?” or if you’ve ever liked our posts but not yet found the courage to join in the conversation or take action.
