It was an honour to engage in a conversation with Shameka about her Chapter, Juvenile Forensic Speech and Language Pathology the_juvenileforensic_slp. https://youtu.be/FNqGat9fnc0 Shameka openly shared the following:

- her journey in pursuing Speech and Language Pathology

- her current role with the individuals she is working with

- the in-service she provides to law-enforcement personnel that are likely to come across individuals with language difficulties/disorders

During the conversation, we also touched on points such as fatal policing, the impact of language and literacy difficulty/disorder on individuals, people interacting with them in a formal capacity, and so forth.

Shameka also co-hosts a Podcast, Cognitive Capacity where they discuss true stories of the intersectionality between cognitive and communication disorders and involvement with the criminal justice system, mass incarceration, and the school-to-confinement pipeline.
