The call for innovation rings clear. We cannot address systemic injustices stemming from our past by remaining the same. We need to change in order to do this. Change our thinking, change our practice and change our policies, change our teaching. - Kayla van Zyl

growing root

We have an ethical and moral obligation to delve deeper and deeper into what it means to be a Speech Therapist within context. - Murielle Quevauvilliers

puzzle pieces
