Episode 27 The Spirit of Ubuntu: A Dialogue with Debra Lavender-Bratcher

This past Saturday, October 14th, we had the privilege of engaging with Debra Lavender-Bratcher. True to form, we started off with a touch of the unexpected: Alicia had a few technical bumps at the onset. Guess we’re keeping things authentically unpredictable these days! Our core discussion revolved around the profound philosophy of "Ubuntu". Debra illuminated its multifaceted applications, from its role in education to its therapeutic potential. The shared admiration between Alicia and Debra, evident since their encounter at the NASW conference, translated into a thought-provoking exploration of clinical work practice. Integral to our discussion were the enduring principles of reciprocity, community, and connection. These principles resonated deeply, providing a foundation for our dialogue. A hearty shoutout to our dedicated listeners; your active participation and insightful queries added depth to the conversation.
