Episode Summary
Something is wrong here.
I feel like crap.
This isn’t fair.
I don’t want anyone else to ever experience what my kid experienced.
At some point, when we feel strong enough or mad enough, we want to take action to improve health. This is advocacy. Many of us advocate for someone, sometime. Or we want to. Ourselves, our family members, our cronies, our community. What lessons can we learn from a master at advocacy? I interview Mary Sue Schottenfels, Director of ClearCorps Detroit, a seasoned community organizer, a master advocate.
The lessons I heard from Mary Sue were:
- Don’t go it alone-join, network, and collaborate.
- Keep your word, follow through.
