Transcript of "Advocacy Video Series - Part 2" produced by Rooted in Rights ALLEXA: Welcome to the Advocacy Video Series, Part 2. I'm Allexa from Rooted in Rights, and I'm a white woman with brown hair and I'm wearing yellow heart-shaped glasses. At Rooted in Rights we use video to advocate for change, and we want to help you do the same. In this series we're going over tools to help you tell your story in video form. For folks with disabilities, sharing our stories can be complicated, so here's some things to consider before you get started. The most important thing to consider before you share your story is making sure it's right for you to share the story. Check in with yourself. Do you feel ready to share it? Is it your story to tell? If you choose to share your story publicly, are you ready for the feedback that might come back to you? Remember that you don't owe anyone your story. Advocacy can be really exhausting and it's important to take care of yourself first. If you're not sure if you want to post the story publicly, that's no problem. You can go through the whole process, make a video, and just choose not to post it. If you're ready to get started, the next video will be reviewing terms that we're going to use throughout the series, and then video 4 is where we're going to start scripting. End of transcript.
