Sucheta Kamath, CEO & Founder, ExQ® is thrilled to join the Georgia Speech Language Hearing Association (GSHA) 2022 Convention as an invited speaker! Let’s Talk About Race: Engaging in antiracism work by interrogating history and examining personal blind-spots with urgency, energy, and care Against the backdrop of long-standing systemic racism and amid the upheaval of the global pandemic, the essential questions about race, equity and equality in United states has once again taken the center stage. Historically, while the field of speech-language pathology and audiology has largely been homogenous and while tasked to serve the needs of underrepresented communities, many experience discomfort around the conversation about race, diversity, and inequality which can and does have an impact on the students, professionals, and consumers alike.
Join Sucheta Kamath and discover how an antiracist approach is an active process of gathering accurate historic information, committing to confronting present-day inequities, and shifting perspectives through bold and open dialogues in safe spaces. By examining the development of one’s own racial identity and race-socialization, speech-language pathologists and audiologists can become the greatest “anti-racist ally” who champion for racial healing in their professional as well as personal work.
If you’d like to connect with Sucheta at this event, or keep the conversation going after the event, please sign up to schedule a meeting.
