Her study explores how the outdated "conduit" model still impacts our autonomy and what our internal responses to ethical action might reveal about our practice.🔹 Meikayla explores how Black interpreters navigate legal settings—looking at access, identity, and the impact of race and culture in the legal setting. - Mikaela J. is taking a closer look at mentoring—how we define [the role of a mentor], how it’s done, and how we can improve.
