Who Are You Calling Dependa‪?‬ Mission PROMISE: Navigating Special Education for Military Families

    • Education

Guests: Callie Meredith and Sarah Curtis, military spouses
 
The term “dependa” has long been used as a derogatory slur for military spouses. Two new military spouses share their experiences with the stigma and stereotype and how they believe leadership can help change public perception of how military spouses are viewed. 
 
“It’s so outdated — what a military spouse is, the definition, what a spouse’s role looks like. It’s not modernized to what we do now as spouses, or what we can do now as spouses.”  -Callie Meredith

Callie’s podcast, “Call to Marriage”
