Kerry Baharanyi
Global citizen, Immigrant, African woman, advocator, living my soul’s purpose
I am a social worker
Standing in unity against gender based violence
Refuting social and human injustice
Fighting in unison with people living with HIV/AIDS
Dismantling the status quo that continues to enslave my people, your people, and our people
I am a social worker
The right to self-determination
The right to dignity
The right to be treated as a decent human
I am a social worker taking the oath to uphold those values and principles
Wounded healer
Student of life
Explorer of cultures
Globe trotter at your service
Competent and educator
I am a social worker
Daring to fight for the voiceless, the disenfranchised
Equalizer and revolutionary
Distressed, devalued, in the trenches of society
Pleading and demanding change for our profession and for the people we serve
We are social workers.
Kerry Baharanyi, MSW, LICSW, PIP, is a social work supervisor in Alabama.
