Thank you to everyone who attended our guest speaker event last night! 🙏🏽 🌙

A special shoutout to Nora for taking the time out of her spring break, while fasting during Ramadan to share her personal experiences and offer valuable insights into the challenges many Muslims face in healthcare and education. ☪️

As OTs, occupational justice is at the heart of what we do so it’s essential we create space for inclusive practices by listening to Muslim voices and truly advocating for change.✊🏽⚖️

Shout out to our friends at the USC Chapter of COTAD for joining the conversation! 🙌🏽

This month, we’re continuing to uplift and amplify the voices of women and Muslim communities. Join us for a special Zoom call with guest speaker Nora Allata, a Muslim occupational therapy student who will be sharing her unique experiences. ☪️

This event is open to anyone who wants to learn more about the Muslim experience and engage in thoughtful & respectful dialogue. There will be time for a Q&A, so come ready to listen, learn, and ask questions. ✨

🗓️ When: Tuesday, March 18th
⏰ Time: 6-7 PM
📍 Where: Zoom - Meeting ID 830 2686 6230

Happy anniversary my love! 😘

8 amazing years filled with adventures, laughter, and growth by your side. You’re not just my partner but my favorite person in the entire world. You’ve pushed me to step out of my comfort zone, to take on challenges I never thought I’d face, and for that, I’m forever grateful. I love how we can be completely ourselves. Thank you for making every moment special. I love you so much. Happy anniversary baby!❤️😘

Happy birthday my other half, my travel buddy, my favorite training partner, my best/ worst student (jk😂), my favorite person in the world! I love you so much ❤️ I hope that today is extra special (even though you still have school 🥲). You’ve been killing it babe. I know that some times it doesn’t feel like it because you’re in school but I see how hard you’re working on getting this degree. I want you to know that I’m so proud of you, you’re already in your second semester of your doctorate program, you’ve traveled to DC to speak to legislators and congressmen and congresswomen about OT, doing fieldwork and part of the OT club at school (don’t hate me I forgot what it was called 😅).

You’re amazing baby, happy birthday ❤️

Had to sneak in a goofy photo that I took of you 😂 sorry not sorry

It’s been a long 18 months and it was nice to finally be able to take the @systemstrainingcenter team out to thank them for their hard work. There’s many more who are missing in this picture but you know who you are.
In Sweden, we have a tradition called #KickOff, which we brought to the US (nice work @puttejohnsson!) It’s team building as autumn (read: the actual word for Fall) approaches and it gets cold and dark. Being in SoCal, we don’t have to worry about that but I’m very excited for what we have planned for the future!
