From Survivorship to Service: Alesia Fleming on Mental Health, Trauma, and Purpose

Sarah Stokes sits down with Alesia “Alicia” Fleming, Director of Anderson Outreach, for a heartfelt conversation about advocacy, survivorship, and serving youth who often feel forgotten. Alesia shares her breast cancer story and the importance of advocating for yourself, then explains how Anderson Outreach supports youth in treatment facilities—many without parental support—through initiatives like Baggage Claim (new luggage + essentials), equine therapy, birthdays/holidays, and volunteer opportunities built around safety and dignity.Anderson Outreach: www.andersonoutreach.org | @andersonoutreach | [email protected] | 704-591-1911Host: Sarah Stokes | NMLS #1743154 | 376205 | [email protected] | 704-301-6040 & 828-772-4638
