Phi and Jess are back at it again with another episode! No She Said What She Said Segment this drop but an intro to a dynamic interview with Christopher Scott aka the Hip Hop Social Worker who you can find by that name on all platforms. 

Navigating Gatekeeping in the social work field explores how Social Work the institution can be oppressive to those who decide to take part. And what are the options? How can those of us who are in this field actively work to shift this narrative? Tune in to this discussion to get some thoughts and perhaps even engage with some of your own!

Here are the links that detail what Phi was going over in the first half of the show:

In this episode, coming right out of Women's History Month and Social Work Month, Phi and Jess, pour that tea hot in the She Said What She Said segment! We are talking about it all- Ketanji Brown-Jackson, Kanye, Meg Thee Stallion being unfollowed by Rihanna (OOP!), accomplishments and making history, and yes, the Emmitt Till opera. After ya'll are all caught up on what is going on in the world, we bring it back with The More You Grow and explore and navigate the history of CRT, where it comes from, and how we see it today- to include why it is important and goes far beyond the propaganda. Phi ties it all together for the culture and brings in the intersectional approach. Call to action? Boycott this Emmitt Till Opera!

Happy Social Work Month! In this episode Phi and Jess are joined by Gary T. Taylor, LCSW who comes with extensive knowledge of the field but also how he is navigating being his own brand, advocacy, activism, and being in private practice. All while wanting to share his knowledge and inform social workers how they could also create their own lane. Navigating his own unique intersections of being a black man in a field that is over 60% white woman, navigating several social media spaces, and incorporating him into the field of advocacy and activism this episode is filled with gems that all social workers will value. Packed with a full She Said What She Said, this episode is quantity and quality!
