Untouched Potential
On this episode, we explore how Desiree Hairston's past and upbringing brought her to the career path she is in now, social work. From being raised by a single mom, to having an absent father, Desiree made sure she broke the cycle and did not fall into society's negative statistics that she would not make out to be anything if she did not come from a two parent household. She graduated from Bridgewater State University with a Major in Social Work and Minors in Childhood Studies and Psychology. She then volunteered with AmeriCorp, sat in a couple of panels, and is now getting her Masters in Social Work (MSW) at Regis College. She learns that you can make 6 figures as a social worker! Desiree describes the healing and revelation she experienced when confronting her past and understanding how having an absent father was although difficult, it was a blessing in disguise. Let this be a blueprint, a guide for those who are trying to get into social work and find success in any field, especially as a person of color. Contact us if you need any advice!
