@slpsofcolor Interview Series Ep. 5 Gary Raquec
from SLPs of Color Hosted by SLPsofColor
Gary Raquec has been a friend of Stephany and Christina since 2008 when they met in undergrad at San Francisco State University. He sat down with us to share his story about where he grew up, how he got into the field, and how he decided on where to go for college. He talks about his family, as well as his identity. Gary also shared with us some advice on how he recharges when times are hard and advice he would give his younger self. The @slpsofcolor Interview Series aims to share the experiences of speech-language pathologists who are people of color because visibility and representation are incredibly important. ASHA reported in 2018 that "8.2% of ASHA members, nonmember certificate holders, international affiliates, and associates are members of a racial minority (compared to the 27.6% of the US population)." We want their voices to be HEARD, and to inspire the next generation of speech-language pathologists.
