In part two of this interview with Dr. Nikki Shelton, we discuss how we as Physical Therapists can be advocates within our Healthcare systems, our communities, and with our patients on an individual level. Nikki discusses ways in which she was able to embody this concept in her own story, and how there is room for more of this in so many ways in the future.

Join us as we celebrate Black History Month this February. I believe in celebrating each other's differences and building each other up. I believe in supporting each other not just in well wishes, but in action. And I also believe in representation, and that people of all races should be celebrated.
