.@KamalaHarris will be a president for all Americans. She actually cares about making your lives better. Donald Trump only thinks about himself.
I want you to remember this: if someone doesnβt respect you, they should not represent you. Thatβs not what you need in your life. And we donβt need Donald Trump leading our country for another four years.

Thanks to @GCU_StudentLife for inviting me to discuss about my recent involvement with @theRCOT following the OT video shoot campaign. It's always exciting to use any opportunity to promote the value of occupational therapy.

Caring isnβt just my family's story, it is the story of millions, caring for each other, dealing with tough times, and keeping going with love.
Sharing our story hasn't been easy, but it's important. It's time to bring carers' experiences into the light.

An important session to reflect on. Tackling unconscious bias is vital but can only be achieved collaboratively, often with uncomfortable conversations.
We must continue to have these conversations and invest in anti-bias training. #RCOT2024
ALT Quote reads: Thereβs such a risk of being frozen in paralysis because weβre worried about getting it wrong. We need to start having those conversations. If it feels uncomfortable, it probably means youβre talking about the right kind of things.β -
