Summary
I write from the perspective of a Black woman who is a first-generation American and a clinically trained psychologist. I practice at the intersection of the public mental health and criminal justice systems, as a public sector forensic evaluator. I additionally function as university faculty, tasked with educating and training forensic mental health professionals early in their forensic careers. I carry my identities and roles with me in my daily practice, where decision-making becomes tangled in systems that have multiple and at times competing functions, agendas, resources, and responsibilities.
