Because a sista is out in these streets making MOVES!!!! I am proud to have been accepted to the newest cohort of the Goldman Sachs One Million Black Women: Black in Business program! #OMBWBlackInBiz  You never know who is watching, which is why it is critical to move with integrity period. Thank you to LaKisha Stark for sharing this program with me ❤️ I am humbled, grateful, and excited for this opportunity and what it means for my business. Having an organization such as Goldman Sachs believe in what Steady Clinical Consultation, Training, and Development has to offer is amazing. There is so much to learn and I cannot wait to join my cohort in growth and business! Lets Go!

There are subtle ways that institutions and companies perpetuate systemic oppression...one main approach is gatekeeping. What is often not clear is WHO is doing the gatekeeping. Those of you who have been following know that my book, "Culturally Responsive Substance Use Treatment: A Guide for Students, Practitioners, and Organizations" has been doing amazing in sales and has been well received across the board. One of the unspoken aspects of getting your book in peoples' hands is your hard work. I commend people like Dr. Yanique Redwood who self-published and is out here crushing it! Her hard work shows in her events, sales, and comments. Many authors are met with what I experienced today. I recieved this email from an employee at Barnesandnoble.com, Inc. "While I do believe your book covers important topics that should be discussed, our customer base does not visit us shopping for this kind of book, and I do not believe this is a good fit for our location." At face value, it appears the employee is doing what is best for the organization, however, upon further investigation, I discovered that all Barnes & Noble stores can at least request a book to see if it will sell in the store, and other stores in the Bay Area were happy to stock their shelves with a timely, important, valuable resource. What are y’all's thoughts? Oh and....you can order your copy at Barnes and Noble online....make it make sense 🤔 https://lnkd.in/gh3Mym9f #culturallyresponsive #substanceusetreatment #mentalhealthawarenessmonth #implicitbias #systemicoppression #gatekeeping

-->Research shows that clinicians don't feel comfortable treating substance use due to lack of adequate Training. --> Research shows that marginalized and minoritized communities are disproportionately impacted by substance use due to factors including but not limited to: lack of culturally congruent care, access, and system inequities I'm not going to lie, it isn't a "fun" CE to sign up for, but it is DEFINITELY one that will be worth your time and DEFINITELY one that will give you tools to be part of the solution whether you believe you treat individuals with substance use or not. The fact that the CE course is filling up speaks volumes. Secure your spot before you miss out! https://lnkd.in/gCnDMfmw
