Social Work Month and Women’s History Month are both celebrated in March…

Implicit Bias discussion at National Association of Deans & Directors—great comments from Melissa Smith, Rocio Calvo and Naelys Luna. We are being reminded that there are both individual & structural changes needed to create schools of belonging that will serve our communities.

Bishop Vashti McKenzie favored Howard family with inspirational Resurrection Day service…she stated despite disruption of Plan B in our lives-it was God’s Plan A for us. Dean Richardson stated that today “justice has been crucified and truth buried.” Wow! #Sundaysareforchapel

Our school made some noise for social justice this week as we celebrated the accomplishments of our MSW & PhD graduates who are committed to radical social justice.I am so proud of their extraordinary accomplishments & look forward to their advocacy! HU-YOU KNOW HOW to advocate!

Yesterday I was thrilled to present the 2022 MSW Class. Dr. Taraji Henson, ancestor of Matthew Henson, gave a shout out to the MSW class for their commitment to mental health —she asked community to change focus from what’s wrong with counseling to what’s right with counseling.

Mit Joyner,HU Social Work John & Barbara Jacob Distinguished Professor&NASW president, introduced Rev. Dr. Barbour@ “The Time is Right for Social Work” 2022 National Conference.Dr. Barbour reminded us of danger of making money&losing mercy -social justice movements are essential.

Make some noise! As social workers we are painfully aware of the impact of overturning Roe v Wade. Our clients need us to advocate for well-being & quality of life before and after birth.Our values stand strong & we will continue the fight to protect reproductive the rights.

It’s intense… at the NASW conference, Dr Janice Edwards and PhD candidate Angela Wilbon discuss critical race theory thru lens of clinical practice and the HU Black Perspective. They challenged us to take responsibility for ensuring that “otherness” is appropriately treated.

So pleased to be at a book discussion with my colleague, Dean Yolanda Pierce as she discussed her new book “In My Grandmother’s House.” She shared how Black mothers and grandmothers have historically transferred lessons of protection and care to future generations. Great book!

A joy to lecture. on servant leadership with 25 Young African Leaders in the 2022 YALI cohort at Howard University. They are quite an enthusiastic groups with amazing potential!

Howard University School of Social Work is a proud supporter of the American Association of Service Coordinators’ conference being held this week in Anaheim. Wonderful meeting with colleagues across the country who supported their residents to prevent social isolation. #AASC2022

I welcomed our new MSW “Social Work Master’s Tools” cohort who will follow the sage advice of Audre Lourde & reject the master’s tools that continue systemic oppression. So glad to be joined by Prez Frederick in photo & hear the supportive welcoming greetings from Provost Wutoh.

Caught in the act of learning on day 1 of classes—Howard University Social Work Social Justice champions in Dr. Husain’s MSW/PHD Urban Uprooting class.

Just finished watching HBOMax documentary Katrina Babies… very emotional. As social workers, we must more fully explore resilience- Who defines it is raised at end of documentary— when resilience becomes the intervention for failed policy it should be of tremendous concern.

Enjoyed a day of exceptional learning with Moorland-Spingarn archivist& team who introduced PhD students to the “white” glove experience of research with archival records. Another exceptional opportunity@Howard as I experienced the intellectual development of a new generation.

C'mon back home to HU Social Work! #HUHomecoming breakfast with the HU Social WorkAlumni Thank you Dean Sandra E. Crewe for your leadership!

Howard students, staff, and alumni enjoying the experience of homecoming.

Howard is a special place. VP Kamala Harris joined us at Rankin Chapel Homecoming service this morning and extolled the leadership experiences gained as a student at Howard. So grateful for Howard leadership nationally and globally. So pleased to see social work students & alum!

Today in Rankin Chapel,Dr. Freddie Haynes reminded us in historic Rankin Chapel that justice is motivated by love… He reminded us through his remix to “stay woke and not fall for the okie-doke”. Social workers we must VOTE for victims of injustice. Our ancestors demand no less.

Good bye all… VOTE for social justice…I cannot support current direction of Twitter.
