What happens when you stop limiting what social work is supposed to look like and start saying yes to the opportunities in front of you?

In Part One of this conversation, Renita sits down with Christine Richmond, a social worker whose career has taken her through geriatric social work, leadership, entrepreneurship, and paths she never necessarily planned for.

Christine shares how she found her way into social work, the opportunities that shaped her career, and what she learned about recognizing her own value along the way. They also talk about the limiting phrase “I’m just a social worker,” the many directions a social work career can take, and what it means to become willing to leave the security of what you know when something new is calling.

And then Christine reaches a moment that beautifully captures her journey:

Here’s the opportunity. Say yes.

That’s where we’ll leave you, for now.

Join us for Part Two, when the conversation continues with what happened after Christine said yes and the story of the Care Collective.
