About this episode
In this episode, we explore the art of hustling as social workers and monetizing your unique gifts. Whether it’s negotiating better pay, creating multiple streams of income or starting your own business, it all begins with recognizing what you’re good at and what you’re passionate about. More importantly, it’s about understanding how those gifts can benefit the population you want to connect with or serve.
Our guest for this episode is LaTanya Tolan, aka Queen L, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and the Founder & CEO of Soul Care for Black Clinicians®. LaTanya’s work is a testament to turning passion into purpose. Soul Care for Black Clinicians® offers mental health therapy, coaching, consulting and wellness support, all designed to empower Black healing professionals and the organizations that employ and support healers of the African Diaspora.
If you’re a social worker looking for ways to elevate your career, diversify your income, or build a business that aligns with your purpose, this episode is a must-listen.

Social workers of color face immense challenges—systemic racism, underfunding, and overwhelming caseloads. They work tirelessly to support others but often lack the support they need. That’s why we created the Queens of Social Work Podcast—a lifeline and safe space for social workers of color to vent, share, laugh, and find the resources they need to thrive.
The QOSW Daily Journal and our Royally You Interactive Journal for yourself will help you get all of your thoughts out and reflect on what’s next for you. For all of the budding social workers and those wanting to know more about social work in a healthcare setting, check out our Guide for ER Social Workers also for sale on Amazon and go to our website queensofsocialwork.net for your queens of social work merch!
