It was a deep honour to engage in conversation with Nelly Kaakaty about her Life Chapter, The Root Of It All. Nelly generously shared about her journey and why she does what she does. Some of the points discussed in this conversation were:
- Nelly's upbringing - her younger sibling's learning struggles, her confusion around people's misunderstanding of these struggles, and subsequent measures
- the mental health stigma
- the journey to becoming an Educational Therapist and Psychology Professor and ongoing work in an attempt to get to the root
- her passion for Executive Functioning
- her dissertation in writing intervention, and so on

This conversation has expanded my knowledge and thinking in various elements of working with students and engaging in meaningful and culturally responsive conversations.
An enormous thanks to Nelly Kaakaty for this conversation and to everyone else that will be tuning in on Human Chapters YouTube, Facebook page, and/or Podcast. Please share it with others that may connect. 😀
