Looking for some utterly brilliant insight during Black History month? Look no further. Brands and businesses, get in touch with Tobi Oredein. ⬇️ And while you’re here… This is your regular reminder that Black History Month is not when you reach out to Black educators to hurriedly fill a gap in your schedule. Just like Disability Pride month isn’t when you panic and ask someone to put together an incredibly complex and time-consuming presentation at the last moment. 👀 And Pride isn’t when you look around thinking “Hmm, so I know any gays? Where do I find myself one?” Nope. If you really want to do something tied to a specific awareness month, then plan ahead. Better yet, hire Black creatives and thought leaders *any time of year.* Pay trans people to share their perspectives any time. Learn from disabled creators *because you actually want to and it’s a year-round priority.* #DisabilityPrideMonth #blackhistorymonth #Pride #PrideMonth

First HAPPY BLACK HISTORY MONTH! As mentioned in a previous post, I will be completing OT Black History Highlights! This allows for my fellow Black OTs voices to be heard! I asked them the following questions: 1. How has the black community inspired you in the field of OT? 2. What do you find inspiring about being a black OT? 3. What has kept you in this occupation? 4. What steps do you feel need to be taken to improve diversity within the field? 5. What do you find is challenging about being a black OT? 6. What are some of the practices or occurrences in the field of OT that are worthy of being reevaluated OR discontinued? (**They had the option of answering a few or all of the questions). SO! Here's my FIRST OT Black History Highlight...... Stacy West-Bruce, OTD, MSW, OTR/L.
