"Let's get something straight: Everyone is an advocate.

Whether you are speaking up for human rights, standing up for that one small kid on the school playground, quietly donating to food pantries, or restocking Little Free Libraries, you are an advocate. Whether by word or by action, you are the voice of much-needed change."

Walk with me as I share the lessons I have learned about being an advocate, and tell you all the things I wish someone had told me when I was a baby advocate. No matter what work you are doing, there is a place for you, and your voice is needed. Your advocate heart belongs here.
