ABSTRACT
The purpose of this article is to reflect on my personal experience completing the master’s thesis component of the Smith College School for Social Work, which inspired me to enter a field of social justice work postgraduation. My specific research topic began from a deeply personal space and evolved into a public career in speaking, multiple professional publications including the National Association for Social Work’s Social Work journal, and ongoing continuing education seminars including Smith College itself. My intention is to inspire future students to value and pursue the field of social work research, as I believe it is the highest form of advocacy.
