Gratitude

I am grateful that you have found this podcast. My wish is that something in this episode will resonate with you in some way. Perhaps, it will help you to see yourself and/or other multicultural beings in a different light. Honestly, I hope it connects you more deeply to your heart chakra.

I am also grateful that this podcast provides an opportunity to be a catalyst for others, particularly mental health professionals to become more heart-centered, connected, and aware that despite our “differences” we are all emanations of the same Source.

I would like to thank the gifted composer and songstress Tina Malia, for giving me permission to use portions of her song The Lost Frontier from the CD of same title, as the intro and outro of this podcast.

Connecting

I hope you will share this and future episodes of the Reflections on Multicultural Competence podcast with your friends, family, and colleagues on social media. I want to encourage you to leave a review of this podcast episode-but with one caveat. Topics related to multiculturalism can be challenging and have the potential to be upsetting. The purpose of the podcast is to encourage reflection on aspects of multicultural competence, particularly our own biases and assumptions. So, I would like to encourage you to consider a moment of mindfulness-being present to what you are feeling and thinking without overreacting-before writing a review. Thank you!
