Conversations on Social Work Careers: It Takes a Village/Breaking Barriers as a Social Worker of Color is by Jennifer Luna and is part of a larger series called Conversations with Social Work Careers. This article was originally posted on socialworker.com.

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 is pre-launching during Black History Month and will be officially launched during Social Work Month. Themes discussed in the video 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.
