We’ve been taught that splintering will break our field. But look at a prism. When you split white light, you don't destroy it. You reveal the colors inside. This episode explores the birth of NBASLH and how Black clinicians didn't break the field by creating a new membership association. Instead, they gave us the framework of difference vs. disorder that we all use today. This limited series is about understanding the profession we inherited without blame, urgency, or demands for action. Listening does not obligate you to do anything. Clarity is allowed to come before solutions. Listen on your favorite podcast app. Link in bio. #speechlanguagepathology #slp #asha #ashaccc #cccslp
