From Copywriter to National Advocate: Sandy Rosenthal's Story

Sandy Rosenthal never imagined she would become the face of a movement that challenged one of the most powerful government agencies in the country. After Hurricane Katrina devastated New Orleans, she found herself asking hard questions, searching for answers, and ultimately founding Levees.org to uncover the truth about why the city flooded. What began with one determined woman and a simple website grew into a nationwide nonprofit that changed the conversation surrounding one of America's greatest disasters.In this episode, Sandy shares the story behind her advocacy, the lessons she learned about courage, leadership, and perseverance, and why she believes ordinary people can make an extraordinary difference. We also talk about her book, Words Whispered in Water, the Flooded House Museum, what gives her hope today, and why she wants future engineers to learn from past failures so history doesn't repeat itself.To connect with Sandy, visit levees.orgWant to be a guest on Life Stories Podcast?Send Shara Goswick a message on PodMatch, here: https://www.joinpodmatch.com/lifestoriespodcast
