A 🧵 with highlights from today's #DisruptOT Social Occupational Therapy event. We accomplished another 1st! Today we provided a free educational event in Portuguese with simultaneous English translation. Speakers were invited to share what they wanted to discuss with no limits.
One of our speakers, Arissandro Sousa, is an artist, rapper, and community member (not an OT professional or student). He's a critical member of the Metuia team. He reminded us about humility (starting off groups by embarrassing himself) and that professionals aren't always
trusted so involving community members can be more valuable and break barriers that healthcare professionals might not be able to. Learn more about Arrissandro disruptot.org/currentevents

Before my week is over, I want to share some values @otbayarea hopes to maintain as #DisruptOT grows:
✊🏾 Build community (work together)
✊🏾 No exploitation (compensate labor, especially historically exploited/oppressed people)
@otbayarea ✊🏾 Highlight global voice (people that actually represent the world not just OT founders, speak languages that aren't necessarily English, yup we will be going multilingual!)
✊🏾 Make access to knowledge (all our events and opportunities) FREE
@otbayarea ✊🏾 Challenge the status quo (do things differently)
✊🏾 Take action (move beyond reflecting, doing like OT people do)
