Advocacy at The Notable Woman
There are many definitions of advocacy, but my favorite is “the act of supporting others to make their voices heard, or to speak up for yourself.” In these selections, you will find people who support others and their voices, people who have found their own voices, or tips and tools to support either avenue. Speaking your truth will heal you, and others hearing you speak the truth will heal the world.
