"A Theory of Cultural Humility," by Foronda

"A Theory of Cultural Humility," by Foronda
begins with critiquing oneself. Because we show a sense of entitlement with our education, we need to demonstrate vulnerability by allowing the perception of transformation. Applying this theory will allow for positive environments, the role of teaching other professionals, and fostering cultural awareness.
CRT by Kolivoski, et al. identifies that racial disparities and microaggressions still exist. My 3 boys are biracial and have a privileged lifestyle based on their environment. Still, I have taught them how to conform to society.
"The Urgency of Intersectionality," by Kimberlé Crenshaw, helps us visualize the people we lost due to intersectionalities. As a person of color, female, and having a disability, I have my own experiences with discrimination.
Transformative Social Work Practice by Schott & Weiss emphasizes the Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) seeks intervention before control of the abuser emerges into lethality. Children witnessing any abuse can have severe effects neurologically, causing a higher risk of ACEs. Victims of domestic violence generally experience multigenerational trauma or ACEs themselves. Through the development and a social work structural lens, it is important to remember the victim is remembering the positive elements of the relationship.
"Decolonize Social Work: White Supremacy at Work" podcast assists with identifying development for social workers. Using Tema Okun's research on white supremacy, we need to be transparent when critically thinking of individualism. Instead of power hoarding all the work, it is responsible for asking coworkers or colleagues to assist you in a task.
Remembering where I came from, my positionality and standpoint. Teaching my children their roots, upbringing, and why they are important no matter if they are judged or marginalized by society.
Critical Theory by Salas, et al., encompasses the idea that we need to advocate for individuals by working on social change (with our social workers in mezzo and macro). The NASW Code of Ethics is a testament that binds our profession, while protecting the client.
"Why macro practice matters," by Reisch shares the ideology that universities need to expand their curricula, increasing awareness in macro practice.
Francis Duffy uses a critical lens to identify ageism as a marginalized population. Advocating for ageism is providing healthcare agencies the language that allows to deconstruct a status that is inevitable for us all. Our society makes millions of dollars to keep ourselves from aging.
"Climate Justice," by Gunn-Wright & Hamilton, depicts the way communities with lower-social-economic status pay the ultimate price, "health disparities." Knowing how grocery stores and healthier food products are limited to people in poverty is recognizing the social injustices at the mezzo level.
"Bad Sugar" also shows the impacts of health disparities, which affect The Tohono O'odham and Pima Indians of southern Arizona. Although Type 2 diabetes is genetic, children were assimilated to believe this disease was a part of their future trajectory.
“Addressing the Inequality Epidemic: Applying a Structural Approach to Social Work Practice with People
Affected by HIV/AIDS in the United States.” by Elizabeth Bowen discusses there are 3 levels of structural factors that can be accessed and advocated for the client. 1. Housing-Individual Level of Structural Factor. 2. Health Care Access: A Community Level Structural Factor. 3. Homophobia and
Heterosexism: Societal-Level Structural Factors. My efforts are to help the oppressed population reframe basic rights in society.
"Case to Cause" by Abramovitz & Sherraden is similar to Reisch's article, without macro practice, we would not be able to master social work injustices. Understanding how Person in Environment is affected by environmental factors is mastering social work through a macro lens.
‘She Helped a Customer in Need. Then U.S. Bank Fired Her.’ Using a critical structural lens, we need to remember we are all people with humanity. CEOs in higher social-economic status can easily dismiss workers who break regulations, yet is up to our humanity to decide what is right. The worker asked her boss who also stated she was able to provide assistance. Both employees were fired, yet received national recognition (for their compassion).
Understanding humanity is part of the human condition It involves justice, peace, and advocacy.
Non-Profit Industrial Complex- 501C3, non-profit organizations, and foundations. Giving money to help seek a cause for social movements. Using the Macro lens to seek mass complexities within the systems. Start by helping with five dollars to your favorite social justice movement.
Trauma-Informed Community Building- Getting the systems to understand TICB, governments, policy makers, and leaders can promote Potrero in places other than San Francisco. Let's make TICB accessible for people in Seattle.
Domino by Luvvie Ajayi Jones talks about being the Domino. Being the domino allows others to follow suit, who are afraid to be the domino that falls first. Standing up for social justice, equality, and rights for everyone is not comfortable. Saying something allows the domino to fall, allowing others to follow, for example,"the me too movement."
UW Social Work - Graduation Speaker Beth Richie speaks about taking action after graduating. Although we are going to be on break for 4 weeks until Autumn quarter starts, I need to take this time to find my true passion in social justice. Use this time, to dig deeper into what my community is doing now, what can I be doing, and what can I do after graduation?
Elevator Speeches- Cat S. taught me about Child Maltreatment- United Nations Convention on the Right of the Child, children need to be protected and have freedom of expression, to not be abused, culturally respected, US is only country who has not put into action. Petition to fight for child rights
Hope Buddy et al., In every practice, micro. mezzo, macro the social worker must be a professional in hope in order to make a difference in the world. If I could outline all of these boxes they would be circle by hope.
Transformative Social Work Practice-Lifespan Perspective With Developmental Disabilities
Understanding the stigma of people with disability and barriers that still exists for them throughout the country. Although we have the ADA, people with DD are still marginalized and treated as if they have no rights, decision making, and value.
Grassroots Organizing Builds Power- Committing to social justice. Combining Critical Race Theory, Cultural Humility, & Case & Cause identifying leaders, educators, and politicians will be the one to make changes. When Lee, N’Tanya was talking about a new leader for change all I could think about was John F. Kennedy.
Transformative Social Work Practice-Public Health Social Work. Utilizing all resources, micro, mezzo, and macro, and decolonizing the stigmas throughout our society.
Transformative Justice
Black Lives Matter, decolonizing the way society enforces policing. Training police in mental health (CAHOOTS), requiring them to get a 4-year degree. Caring a weapon that can take lives you would assume the police have a history of police enforcement, mental health, and systemic racism.
White Supremacy Culture realizing all the work can be done by a group. Do not power hoard all the work, complete as a team. A white person in power will try to power hoard all the work, trying to show they accomplished all. All this does is create burn out, that the boss may not even care about.
White Supremacy, perfectionism- making the mistakes is okay. Don't over control the situation and identify the mistakes others make, yet use the STRENGTHS perspective to show what could have been done better.
Disrupting Normal Culture Ideologies- Embracing new employees, take on new trainings, and embrace change. Being transparent and integrating change within your environment keeps it diverse.
Paternalism and understanding everyone's position. Although someone is in a position of power they should not abuse it. Making the person who makes less money make coffee runs keeps the systemic colonized methods and white supremacy in place. Everyone needs to be treated as a person with dignity and sometimes the boss needs to take action to do something kind for his/her employees.
