We wanted to reintroduce ourselves and tell you a little bit about who we are, how we met, how we started SLPs of Color, and what our goals are as a group. We also want to acknowledge our 3 other admin (Amanda, CM, and Aya) as well as our LA-area based organizers Joyce, Crysta, Celia, Jimmy and as of hours ago, Kay Yee.

Hey everyone, it's been a while since we've done an episode. We were taking a break to deal with life after winter break, but then Covid-19 happened and so did shelter in place across the US. In this episode, we check in with our former guests Lucia Lainez (ep. 01), Karina Saechao (ep. 02), Samina Sattar (ep. 03) and Gary Raquec (ep. 05). We also check in with Tamiko Teshima from Michigan, Nikki Uy from Pennsylvania, and our co-administrator for SLPs of Color Vivian Tisi. The guests share about how Covid-19 has been affecting them both personally and professionally, as many people transition to working from home during the pandemic. They also share what's been working for them and what they think would be helpful.

We want to hear from you! How are you doing during the shelter in place? Send us a voice memo to our email address at slpsofcolor1@gmail, leave us a voicemail message at 510-255-5620, or go to Anchor.fm/slpsofcolor and you can record a voice message to us. Your message may be used in an upcoming episode.

Stay safe, stay calm, and take care of yourselves.
