Hope and Advocacy EP 26

What does it mean to be an advocate? How can self-advocacy help us? I've been thinking about this a lot lately. Today I see information related to advocacy around things both political and cause related. At it's essence it's taking a stand for myself, for others, for a cause I care about and it's a way to engage with our world. Big problems often require complex solutions that aren't black and white. The things that can't be solved with a checklist of tasks. At times that can make us feel that there's nothing we can do that matters. But that's not right. Advocacy is how we can make a difference.
