Send us a textIn this episode, we dust off the case files and share some of the wild and wonderful moments from our past. Warning: side effects may include chuckling, nodding in solidarity, and the occasional eye-roll. Join us as we laugh, learn, and maybe cringe a little at past cases.Social workers of color face immense challenges—systemic racism, underfunding, and overwhelming caseloads. They work tirelessly to support others but often lack the support they need. That’s why we created the Queens of Social Work Podcast—a lifeline and safe space for social workers of color to vent, share, laugh, and find the resources they need to thrive.
