undergraduate experience, as that was the time when I began to think critically about ethical concerns and how I would approach them. Psychology also gave me a “leg up” in graduate school because I already had the foundation for many of the theoretical concepts of the therapies I now use on a daily basis. How did you choose which area of Psychology and Social Work you wanted to focus on? Or, if you feel like you’ve yet to completely choose, can you share a bit about that process?

This is why, when Mary makes egotistical quips that mildly challenge gender norms during arguments with her husband, it can have an exasperating effect. The film flirts with structural racism when it would benefit from considering the actors beyond the casting process and updating the script with them in mind

a long, arduous process and it’s very hard, there’s still a lot of joy and contentment in that work because it is something that I have found to be a part of my vocation in life.  Jen: Yes!
