#72 - Finding Your Advocacy Style

What is your advocacy style? Some of us are outspoken and confident while others of us are timid and slow to react. Often advocacy comes with images of anger and confrontation but what if that is not the way we are wired? Can we still be strong advocates? Michelle Sullivan discusses her advocacy style and journey. There was a time Michelle did not believe her voice had any power but now she is a leader in the disability community bringing change and also empowering others to do the same, all while staying true to her personality and voice. She is the founder of The LIttlest Warrior and host of the Advocate Like a Mother Podcast.
