Many professionals in health, education, and community service roles are caught in a particular bind of identity—they live in a complex social borderland of credibility and professional authority while experiencing or having experienced the same discrimination, violence or trauma that they are committed to conquering. For some, the disclosure of their own stories of marginalization has become a tool for advocacy, for telling a larger truth; for others, self-disclosure is a more personal action, intended to assist isolated others in developing trust and connection. Linde Zingaro, a lifelong social service worker and activist, interviewed several colleagues who have chosen to speak out in this way, talking with them about their ethics and intentions, and collaborating to identify some of the risks of negative personal and professional consequences for the practitioner. She uses their voices—and her own—to illustrate some of the ways that these people have learned to safely and effectively use the transformative potential of storytelling as significant social action. This examination of speaking out as a meaningful social practice may help other workers, activists, and community researchers in their efforts to be heard in the interests of a more just society.
Linde Zingaro has spent 30 years in a variety of social welfare and social activist settings. She has worked in direct service delivery, in project development and management, in staff training and in public education, and currently has a clinical practice. She has run non-profit programs for street-active adolescents in Vancouver, and has done public speaking and advocacy for programs in Canada, the US, and Japan. Zingaro has a Ph.D. in Educational Studies from University of British Columbia.
