You've spent the last few weeks studying the Herstory pedagogy as it applies to all teachers and counselors. This chapter will help you to shape your own way of allowing this work to be applicable to your special role as a school counselor, social worker, or psychologist.
Kids know when you're being real and genuine with them. You have followed the work of Latashen Johnson-Lowe in previous chapters. Now listen to how she shares her story with the students with whom she is working as she completes her social work training.
​
​
Now listen to the story of Carolina Perez, the school counselor who pioneered the use of Brave Journeys, fifteen stories by young people who crossed the southern border alone, in her work with newcomer students. As you listen, imagine that it is you who is sharing this with your students as a way of building connection and trust. Listen to her reading it first in Spanish, then in English.
