This Black History Month, honors the extraordinary contributions of Black social workers, while also acknowledging the hard truths within our profession’s history.
Although social work is rooted in social justice, Black leaders were historically marginalized, excluded from leadership, and not fully recognized for shaping the field.
Their advocacy, scholarship, and community leadership strengthened social work in ways that were too often overlooked.
We honor pioneers like: Mary Church Terrell; Dorothy Height; Whitney M. Young Jr.; E. Franklin Frasier; Lester Blackwell Granger; George Edmund Haynes; and the countless Black social workers whose impact continues today.
Acknowledgment must lead to action. We are committed to advancing racial equity, elevating Black voices, and ensuring our profession lives up to its core values.
Black history is social work history.

❤️ Sending hugs to everybody who heard words like this as a child. ❤️

Some sentences do not disappear. They grow roots.

Being told you are stupid, too sensitive, a problem, or a disappointment does not just hurt in the moment. It shapes how you see yourself, how safe emotions feel, and how you respond to stress, conflict, and relationships for the rest of your life.

Children believe adults. They do not hear “I am overwhelmed”. They hear “I am the problem”.

Shame does not teach behaviour. Fear does not build respect. It teaches silence, people pleasing, anger, or emotional shutdown.

Many adults are still carrying this. Over explaining. Apologising for existing. Struggling to set boundaries. Feeling responsible for other people’s emotions. This is not weakness. It is learned survival.

Most harm is not caused by cruelty. It is caused by stress, lack of support, and adults repeating what was done to them. But understanding this does not undo the impact.

Words from adults stick.
And changing the words changes the story.

If this resonates, you are not alone. And it is never too late to break the cycle.
