Show notes

Dr. Nasiah Cirincione-Ulezi joins the show to discuss what it means to show up authentically and what it looks like to “do the work”. Dr. Cirincione-Ulezi talks about how “doing the work” means learning to sit with one’s emotions —even when they don’t feel so good. Dr. Cirincione-Ulezi shares how, through the use of ACT, she is learning to evaluate the rules in her life, explore their origin, and to sit with the discomfort of doing so.

Rashida Biera on Hue-man Expressions Aug 06, 2023

Show notes

Rashida Biera joins the show to discuss her frustration —which turned into inspiration. While working as a technician and now analyst, Rashida realized there were not (m)any instructional materials representing children or adults who were black or brown. Many images and instructional materials either featured stick figures, cartoons, or images depicting white individuals. Rashida, along with the artistic talents of her husband sought to change that by creating Hue-Man Expressions. Hue-Man Expressions uses high-quality, detailed images and educational materials featuring black and brown kids and adults for use in therapy and instructional sessions. These materials are great for ABA therapy, speech therapy, and special education lessons. To learn more visit https://www.huemanexpressions.com.
