Thanks for tuning into the Transform Nursing Podcast! I am Nikki Akparewa, the Creative Director of Transform Nursing and your host. In my podcasts real nurses, have real conversations that cause real results. In this episode I am interviewing Diamonté Brown, who is not a nurse, but is a strong social justice advocate. On episode 4 of the Transform Nursing Podcast, we discuss the difference between between activism and advocacy. Diamonté, a Baltimore native, is an educator and policy reformist. She focuses on campaign finance reform, educational policy reform, and criminal justice reform. She was an integral part of the passage of the ex felon voting rights bill and the Maryland Second Chance Act 2015, which passed here in Maryland. Diamonté shares with us her personal story that led her to fighting for ex-felon voting rights and how she channels her voice through grassroots policy training. Takeaways from this Episode: Learn how to use engaging teaching strategies to deliver fun, comprehensive, hands- on lobbying training to grassroots organizations that choose to carry out their fight through policy reform. Gain background knowledge on local and state legislative processes (i.e. how an idea becomes a law). Learn how nurses can creatively engage in civil disobedience.
