Episode Info:

This episode looks at how freelance vs. staff interpreting aligns with our personalities, and how we continue to show up when we’re carrying grief, heartbreak, or heavy life news on the job. Jose joins the conversation to name tokenism, allyship, and the extra burden of self-advocacy placed on interpreters from marginalized communities, while challenging us to practice real self-reflection, accountability, and responsibility for our growth and the future of the field.
