Samina Sattar (@saminasattar) is a speech-language pathologist in Atlanta, Georgia. Samina identifies as a bilingual, Bangladeshi-American, and Muslim. She shares with us her experience growing up in the suburbs of Atlanta, her college experience, a Muslim organization she's been a part of for the past 8 years, a challenging experience she had during her student teaching, and some advice she would give her younger self. Note: There are some portions of this where the audio quality cuts in and out due to poor internet connection. The @slpsofcolor Interview Series aims to share the experiences of speech-language pathologists who are people of color because visibility and representation are incredibly important. ASHA reported in 2018 that "8.2% of ASHA members, nonmember certificate holders, international affiliates, and associates are members of a racial minority (compared to the 27.6% of the US population)." We want their voices to be HEARD, and to inspire the next generation of speech-language pathologists. Follow us: Instagram @slpsofcolor Twitter @slpsofcolor FB @slpsofcolor
