788 Take Your Power Back with Amanda Nguyen

788 Take Your Power Back with Amanda Nguyen

YOUR MOST POWERFUL TOOL IS YOUR VOICE.
We are surrounded by stories of injustice around us.
It can be overwhelming.
Screaming with anger doesn’t get you very far.
Making the other side wrong just makes a war.
So how can you make a change?
You have to come from a place of compassion. Know the result that you want. Stop leading with emotion and try instead to focus on the concrete change you want to make.
We live in a democracy- our voice counts.
On today’s episode of The School of Greatness, I discuss how the legislative system works with a powerful sexual assault advocate: Amanda Nguyen.
Amanda Nguyen is the founder and CEO of Rise, a non-governmental civil rights organization. She was the power behind the Sexual Assault Survivors' Rights Act, one of 23 bills to pass unanimously through US Congress. She was in Forbes' 2017 "30 Under 30" Law & Policy list and was an invited speaker at the 2017 Women's March on Washington. In 2018, California representatives Mimi Walters and Zoe Lofgren nominated Nguyen for the 2019 Nobel Peace Prize.
Amanda was raped in college and soon after learned of the injustices surrounding sexual assault survivors. Instead of getting angry, she made a change.
So get ready to learn how you can make a difference by taking political action on Episode 788.
