Advocacy should feel like you’re being heard. It should feel like you’re being cared for and your concerns are being addressed. Speaking up for others to be heard, not speaking over these marginalized voices.

Advocacy should look like equity. Advocacy is speaking up and speaking out, asking questions, learning more about your body and voicing your concern or the concern of others. Advocacy should look like community and helping those whose voices go unheard.
