Advocacy
When the silent note passing won't work, bust out the pots and pans.
“I am no longer accepting the things I cannot change.
I am changing the things I cannot accept.”
— Angela Davis
How The Deaf Community Opened My Eyes To More Injustices
I came in to learn a language. I walked away with a fire in my chest. The Deaf community didn’t just teach me signs — they showed me what injustice really looks like when the world is built to ignore you.
Advocacy Resources
No binge drops here. Just one real piece at a time. Come back weekly for more!
A Lawyer Mindset
The type of mindset that means you don't stop just because the person you're fighting for has. You fight until the truth wins.
Why Am I Even Doing This
You won’t always feel like it. That’s why dedication matters more than motivation ever could.
The Fake Advocate
They post the right words and say all the right things, but their actions don’t match. Without sacrifice it's just performance.
What Are You Willing To Lose For Justice?
Justice requires sacrifice. If you’re never at risk of losing a piece, you’re probably not playing to win.
When Speaking Up Is Unpopular
You might get a mic drop. You might get a tomato. Either way, say the truth. Applause was never the point.
Who Is Affected
By This?
There’s always a target. Ask who’s standing in the middle before you move forward.
When Your First Advocate In Life Failed You
So now you are uncomfortable with others speaking up, saying what needs to be said or done. Silence is polite and with time all will be right. Fantasy thinking.
Receipts
& Game Plans
Your greatest defense & offense against bullies, lies and excuses are receipts and a plan. You don't think they have one? You won't get much that way.
It Wasn't Your Problem, But It You Can Solve It
You didn’t cause the harm, but you’ve got the clarity, the access, and the guts to do something about it.
Advocating For Growth
Potential doesn’t thrive in silence. Speak up for development, mentorship, and the room to evolve for yourself and for others.
Advocating For Resources
No one can succeed with empty hands. Advocacy means asking for what’s needed to get the job done right, not just getting by.
Advocating For Workplace Accommodations
Access isn’t extra. It’s basic respect. When the system isn’t built with everyone in mind, speak up until it is.
