Episode #27 Team Gonzalez Part 1, Diaries of a Co-Worker Part 2 (featuring Dr. Eliseo Gonzalez)

Show notes:

Working with people you love is the special sauce in a peach pie that holds it all together, makes it sweet, and keeps you coming back for more!

A number of weeks ago we spoke with long time coworker, Alex Rogers, from Romania in Diaries of a Co-worker, Part 1.

In this second part of , Diaries of a Coworker, Dr. Eliseo Gonzalez, chiropractor, joins us to talk about our parallel universes as colleagues and having brother’s with special needs and  Down’s Syndrome, and shared roots in Yakima, WA.  We explore cultural and racial identity and the notion of asking others about their identity preferences.  Dr. Eli, as he’s known in our office, shares his identity and experience as a chiropractor, Texano, Yakamanian, Mexican American, Latino, Hispanic,  bi-racial, one-quarter French, fellow human. 

I’m delighted to introduce my friend and colleague, Dr. Eliseo Gonzalez to A Hat Tip For Hands!

Post Show Notes: Thanks for joining this conversation Dr. Eli! I appreciate you, your professionalism, your courage to talk about race, and your wonderful laugh! And, good luck with Baby Gonzalez on the way that we did not get to discuss.
