I’m Dee Batiste, host of “Advocacy Arena: Connections and Conversations” our latest of many community building projects. 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 favorite motto, because I’m also a nature lover.
To create a healthy, strong, thriving nation, we must build healthy, strong, thriving communities. We are a nation of thousands of communities filled with many people.
Championing civic engagement through #AdvocacyArena, I host “Connections and Conversations” podcast—where unique voices and lessons from history spark change in urgent social issues. As a veteran and community advocate, I examine today’s struggles through the lens of past movements, amplifying new perspectives and proven strategies for social impact. Join me in building awareness, fostering dialogue, and becoming the change we seek—one story, one connection at a time.
Join me as we connect and converse through individual interviews in addition to our weekly ongoing live discussion chats on Spoutible, and bi-weekly Substack lives: Fired Up Friday .
I pen articles on a rather sporadic basis but usually post 1-2 articles per week. My writing flows from heartfelt issues and conversations. My work is an effort to bring awareness to issues that are important to overall quality of life in our communities and this necessarily involves politics because political leaders make decisions that impact our lives at the community level.
If this speaks to you, share it. Act on it. Organize with others. We are not powerless — not yet. But we are out of time for hesitation.
