I’m Dee Batiste, host of “Advocacy Arena: Connections and Conversations” join me on my journey to increase civic engagement for more healthy thriving communities.

I’m also a veteran who continues to serve by focusing on local community work. Bloom where you are planted is my motto. To create a healthy, strong, thriving nation, we must build healthy, strong, thriving communities

In 2021 I began facilitating regular virtual roundtable type conversations that became an informative and inspiring vehicle for engagement. I discovered many quiet heroes, every day citizens and advocates along the way whose efforts deserve hi lighting.

Join me as we connect n converse with local change makers around the country in many different fields. We’ll peek behind the scenes, explore their work, contributions and impact on the community through individual interviews in addition to our weekly ongoing live chats.

The podcast is an outgrowth of our grassroots community borne from diverse citizens’ ongoing conversations around common concerns and shared search for solutions.

I do pen articles on a rather sporadic basis but usually post 1-3 articles per month. My writing flows from heartfelt issues and conversations.
