Talk Social Work To Me!

Dec 22

I fell in love with social work after attending my undergrad program at Texas Southern University. Unlike what many people may think social work is, it is in fact so board. Social work can be counseling, case management, policy making, advocacy, and much more.

Although it’s also important to acknowledge the colonize origins of social work where many marginalized populations have suffered at the hands of white supremacy and white saviorism.

As an indigenous social work professional my main commitments to my field is utilizing decolonize social work approaches, allowing my clients to have autonomy and be experts of their lives, sharing resources and knowledge through digit spaces like TikTok and IG, and mentor the youth as a field instructor with Baylor University.

In my Tiktok: Life Skill By Lucia I share my experiences in the field of social work:

During undergrad my professor Dr. Willis encourage me to get involved with the National Association of Social Workers (NASW) for networking and mentoring opportunities.

I first started with presenting my research at the annual NASW conference in 2019 and than I ran and served as their MSW Board Member.
