In this episode of Conversations on Social Work Careers, Jennifer Luna talks with five Black women in social work – Chaundra Scott, Nicole Crawford Sumerall, Sarita Ford, Serretta-Brooke Gordon, and Brittany White. These social workers are making Black history and breaking barriers as co-authors of the forthcoming book, It Takes a Village, which tells the stories of social workers of color. Themes discussed include self-care, boundaries, advocacy, professional development, advice for new macro social workers, collaboration, networking, knowing your worth, and much more for social workers at any career level.
Jennifer Luna’s column, Your Social Work Career Coach, appears in The New Social Worker. See her latest columns and videos at
