| Introduction | I am a recently graduated doctor of clinical psychology. I’ve done a good bit of work on my own diversity “stuff,” and am still very much on my own diversity journey. Thus, the content of this blog will likely be shaped by my identities as a fairly young, white ciswoman with several invisible disabilities who practices a minority faith and was born and raised in middle to lower-middle class households in the US. I will do my own due diligence with monitoring and attempting to check my own biases and prejudices, and also invite you, as a reader, to respectfully call out biases and prejudices you may notice. |
