Rashida Biera joins the show to discuss her frustration —which turned into inspiration. While working as a technician and now analyst, Rashida realized there were not (m)any instructional materials representing children or adults who were black or brown. Many images and instructional materials either featured stick figures, cartoons, or images depicting white individuals. Rashida, along with the artistic talents of her husband sought to change that by creating Hue-Man Expressions. Hue-Man Expressions uses high-quality, detailed images and educational materials featuring black and brown kids and adults for use in therapy and instructional sessions. These materials are great for ABA therapy, speech therapy, and special education lessons. To learn more visit https://www.huemanexpressions.com.
