Welcome back to Black and Raww Podcast, I know I've been a bit MIA lately, but I promise there's a good reason. So, grab your headphones and settle in as I spill the tea on what's been happening in my world.
First things first, I graduated from social work last year and took a well-deserved year off. It's been an incredible year, and I can't wait to share more details in our upcoming yearly review episode.
Now, let's talk job hunting. I had my sights set on a specific local authority, and I was so confident in my skills that I didn't apply anywhere else. Crazy, right? Well, my mom thought so too, and she nudged me to broaden my horizons. Spoiler alert: it worked, and I'm excited to spill the tea on my first two weeks as a social worker.
In these reflections, I'll dish on why I chose this path, spill the deets on my amazing team (Christmas duo, anyone?), and share my experiences with the diverse group of colleagues, including unexpected Zimbabwean connections.
Life is all about duality, right? I've been contemplating this concept as I navigate the complexities of social work. From heartbreaking moments to making kids laugh, there's a unique joy in the sadness.
Surprisingly, I'm loving the job, despite its stressful reputation. Join me as I delve into the fears, nerves, and unexpected joys that come with being a social worker. And yes, I'll spill some tea on how this journey ties into my passion project, Black & Raww.
But wait, there's more! I'll also touch on Movember and how it's impacted my mental health. From a solid work routine to hitting the basketball court, I've found ways to keep my sanity intact. I spill the beans on my stress management tricks and how my morning routine is my secret weapon.
As we wrap up, I want to explain my recent podcast hiatus and reassure you that more episodes are on the way. Plus, if you're curious about my social work journey or just want to chat, hit me up on Insta, Twitter, TikTok, or shoot me an email.
Thanks for tuning in, and let's keep this conversation going!

On today’s episode of the podcast, you’ll hear from Kwamane Harris. Kwamane has worked in various social care settings in the US. He is also the Author of Pushing the Generation forward. My book is designed to encourage children, young people and adults to find their purpose by empowering the next generation. This means that despite the trauma, hardship, poverty, oppression, racism, and generational curses we’ve experienced in life we have to develop the mindset to Push the Generations Forward for our children’s children.
Kwamane comes onto the podcast to talk about his new book, how we can build positive relationships with young people, mental health within social care, intergenerational wealth and how the next generation can be supported in reaching their full potential.
Here is a little about Kwamane’s book:
“Pushing the Generations Forward” is a positive mindset that shifts focus from the hardships of one’s life to an idea of hope and a mindset of pushing towards a better future, pushing past all of the tough times so that you can make a better future for the next generation. This paradigm shift replaces the struggle for survival with the opportunity for personal growth, the discovery of a special Calling and the creation of one's best self. Significantly, a Purpose centred outside of oneself, with the goal of building strength and resilience, not just for ourselves, but for future generations, is an integral part of the process of Pushing the Generations Forward.
