The #CodeSwitching concept+tactic usually only refers to Black people who master linguistic+presentation changes to be “acceptable” to White people across sectors, aka, as Survival #culturalcompetency skills. No one ever examines White people who inherently, authentically can do Same. #DollyParton

Cultural Competency should be required for medical training programs. It also needs to include #disabled #neurodivergent & #chronicillness communities as ignorance, ableism & bias are the biggest barriers in these patients receiving proper care.

If we want to deliver truly trauma-informed care, we must go beyond awareness and embrace #culturalcompetency as core practice. It’s not about ticking a box — it’s about understanding people’s stories in context, and creating safe, inclusive spaces where healing is possible. #VicariousTrauma
