Description: Join us as we discuss the crafts of positive disruption and storytelling as acts of social justice. Now more than ever, social workers can be leaders in positively disrupting white and normative spaces through their use of self. We all have stories and for many of us, it is these stories that propelled us to enter the field of social work. How can these stories also be acts of social justice used to disrupt the status quo?
