how to speak up and advocate where you are

You don't need a degree, title, or position of authority to advocate for change! In this bonus episode, I'm joined by Ella Bat-Ami, a young woman who aged out of foster care and went on to advocate for a Foster Youth Bill of Rights in Tennessee. Ella shares how she found mentors, brought her ideas before state lawmakers, and used her lived experience to speak up for others. We also talk about how adults can support young people in finding their voices and how anyone can begin advocating right where they are.
