Traditions and Preparing for the Holidays

The holiday season can be a mix of emotions and after diving into some heavier topics in recent episodes, we’re shifting the focus to something lighter—celebrating holiday traditions and the joy they bring.

In this uplifting episode, we are joined by Queen E, Dr. Ellen Daniel, a Board-Certified Ambulatory Care Pharmacist with a Doctor of Pharmacy degree from Temple University.  Together, we explore her holiday preparation rituals and cherished traditions rooted in her Southern upbringing.

Through laughter and heartfelt moments, we reflect on the beauty of keeping old traditions alive while embracing the new ones we create.  Whether you’re reconnecting with family customs or finding joy in your own way, this episode will inspire you to bring intentionality and warmth to your holiday celebrations.

Tune in for a fun and lighthearted conversation and don’t forget to think about your own traditions—what you’ve held onto and what you’re building for the future.

Social workers of color face immense challenges—systemic racism, underfunding, and overwhelming caseloads. They work tirelessly to support others but often lack the support they need. That’s why we created the Queens of Social Work Podcast—a lifeline and safe space for social workers of color to vent, share, laugh, and find the resources they need to thrive.

The  QOSW Daily Journal and our Royally You Interactive Journal for yourself will help you get all of your thoughts out and reflect on what’s next for you.
