Shownotes

How do you sustain activism when you cannot unsee the injustice?

Join us in this conversation with Levonne Abshire, Educator, Disability Advocate, Coach, and

Director of health equity, promotion, and education at the University of British Columbia.

Together, we explore the intersection of advocacy in motherhood and leadership.

As a mother of a racialized teen with autism grounded in servant leadership and wise compassion, Levonne highlights the importance of dignity, human rights, and belonging as core principles to uphold. Uncovering the dance of reciprocity in sisterhood, we discuss how women of colour navigate loneliness and trust-building while highlighting practical advice to sustain oneself in work that often intersects with compassion, identity, and advocacy that is never “the flavor of the month.”
