Happy Friday!
How do you self advocate for yourself?
I wrote about tips to speak up for yourself a while ago, here: https://lnkd.in/gc3gfhY
Today I had an interesting conversation about speaking up for myself. Some conversations relating to #covid19 have been challenging as of late.
Growing up, I remember how scared I was to speak up. I was told to ‘stay quiet’ and ‘leave it alone’. When something came up relating to #covid19, I spoke up for what I believed in and it was not received by some parties. At first, I wondered whether I should have said it all and then I reminded myself that I have a voice and as an adult, I can speak up for myself. It wasn’t easy and as someone reminded me today, I self-advocated for myself. A win.
A good reminder in these challenging times.
