Introduction:

Looking at my own experiences with ageism and adultism retrospectively has shown myself a sense of reliance which, I have encountered through expertise that has made me break down and cry and question the very reason for my need to be in the Social Health Science(s) field. Thus, by considering my personal and professional areas of problematic experiences/issues within social work and educational fields by desiring more gainful employment has caused me a great deal of anguish and distress over the years. Moreover, how am I supposed to explore the intersectionality’s of adultism, ageism, sexism, and racism that young Canadian Caribbean women like myself have dealt with the constructs of North American society due to being the wrong societal preference? Ethically, how as a holistic social worker within North American cultural realms, could I mitigate these highly and very challenging areas of employment marginalization which, have burned and bruised me within my profession but, wounded me inward to my core? By responding honestly to the journal entry, I will explain a specific set of examples regarding ageism, adultism, and various intersectionality’s that have occurred in my life.

Likewise, I also demonstrate how as an ethical and holistic social worker, I can regain my power and intellectual identity to support younger clients and other professionals of color facing adultism and ageism as they may be working towards professional goals which, they have set for themselves with the constructs of North American society. Often, many social workers do not understand their personal and professional complexities as I have identified priory. Usually, social workers as a body of ethical professionals want to help people. However, we do not know or actualize the in-depth understanding that we also need to heal ourselves as mere mortals?  I remember this element of my remedial intervention course of the fact that the best therapists go through therapy themselves to develop continuity and transparency in their lives and practical developmental experiences. Comprehensively, cultural adultism can be a very ambiguous, yet very prevalent, form of discrimination and intolerance for young adults of color wanting to gain upward social mobility.

Chapter 1: Cultural Ageism and Adultism

Usually, it is customary to begin an essay/journal of this sort of measure with a precise definition regarding whiteness, yet what are the intersectionalities of this concept? Within most contemporary and progressive circles, it is assumed that the cultural group I belong to should be able to determine itself, right?  However, whiteness has been historically characterized by non-whites, looking to voice the actions of social inequalities and injustices within North American cultural understandings. A working example of this concept is the author James Weldon Johnson, an African American historical poet, and anthologist who observed in the year 1912 that there is more than meets the eye of social isms. The colored people of this country know and understand the intersectionality’s of white people themselves; the white people will ever know and understand their intersectionality’s themselves and how it affects people of color."

I currently live in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. My social location can be identified as a young adult female who is 1st generation Caribbean-Canadian. I am a single mother of two children, one biological and the other child is my niece that I cared for since the age of three months old.  Thus, when reviewing this topic of ageism and adultism retrospectively, I paused and then became upset by the complexities of my social identity. Mainly, because of this subject target my insecurities as a person and a professional social worker. Upon looking at me, you would never know that my life has had varies levels of personal
