How to Tell Your Story and Advocate for Change

Overview

We all have a story to tell, but too often the emotions, fear or frustration gets in the way of sharing our story and advocating for change. Cynthia draws upon her 25+ year career working in public relations as well as her personal experience advocating for a child and sibling with disabilities. She’s living this journey and knows the importance of advocacy.
 
Cynthia shares the power of speaking your truth and sharing your story – helping people understand that small actions can make big changes. While there tends to be much focus on large advocacy activities, she’s found the biggest impact can come by simply sharing your story. You never know who is listening and where it will go – the power of the ripple effect.
