Hi, friend!

How are you? What’s the latest??

Episode 3 of the Issue Space podcast is out and we cannot wait to share it with you.

We’re talking all about ✨ Distance & Difference: Advocating for Communities Outside Your Own ✨ with international human rights lawyer Gissou Nia, disability educator and consultant Dr. Jocelyn Logan-Friend, and digital strategist and organizer Katie Smith.

Professional advocacy work can be tricky. We’re often working on behalf of a community, experience, or identity we represent ourselves. But not always.

How do you step up to lend support in the right moments, and step back when you’re not really needed? How do you earn trust and respect from a community when you lack their first-hand insight? How do you create space for a cause without taking up that space?

In this roundtable chat, we have an honest and vulnerable look back at our not-always-spot-on attempts to get this dynamic right…and our observations about where we can all get better at doing this delicate dance.

Watch below or listen to the episode: Find us and follow us on Apple, Spotify, and these platforms.

Until next time, friends!
