Advocacy and Me - Middle School Assembly
How can we recognise the power within us? How do we create brave spaces where we are empowered to advocate for ourselves? How can we pursue career fields based on our passion rather than societal pressures? These and more questions were addressed by Koumbie '12, Alfred '15, and Curtis, our panelists at the Middle School assembly on the topic of Advocacy and Me.
