"I feel so hopeful and encouraged about the way the art therapy field has evolved in its inclusion of race, diversity, and social justice in its training of art therapists and art therapy professionals. I would like to see more of that. Ten years ago, questions about race and diversity were not even encouraged in art therapy conversations, or were spoken in whispers in corners, and I hope we never go back to that. I hope we stand firm in our inclusion of diversity and equity in our training, textbooks, articles, conferences, and practice. As art therapists, we must be more than allies — we need to be ‘co-conspirators’ and ‘accomplices’ to refute oppression and injustices, and advocate to protect our most vulnerable and racially/ethnically targeted communities around us today.”
