So all the training I wrote about in yesterday's post, really just reflects my intent to offer what I can, when I can, in the way I can, which may not be what other people expect from a woman, but I'm nothing if not great at challenging people's expectations! 😝

There's this belief I touched on, that women are naturally good at #community & #organizing & #communityorganizing, but I am not one of those women & not just bc of the #neurodivergence, but also a boatload of #trauma.
And yet, we're at this point in time where I feel I'd better get good at it.

I went to bed last night anxious that I hadn't properly captured the context in which I'm learning #emergencymanagement, thus appearing oblivious, which I am a lot bc #ADHD, but also here is why my training efforts matter: trauma-disaster-healing-recovery.ghost.io/organizing-i... #community
Organizing in Community, Also When You Have No Experience
Stepping up isn't just about collecting training or experience. It's also about healing past trauma.

2) how nice it is to watch "fiction based on true events" where something could've gone catastrophically wrong but didn't bc ppl worked together to prevent the catastrophe (& were prepared in the meantime just in case)
