The first course in the Mamademics Academy launched in 2016. A year after its release Raising an Advocate 101 has been purchased by over 150 people. The initial facilitated course became so popular that I had to create a self-paced version. While I no longer facilitate the courses online due to time constraints, I still wanted a way to connect with those taking the course and joining me on this journey of advocacy.
Raising an Advocate: The Community on Facebook has become that space and almost a year into its birth I’ve realized that it’s time to take it to the next level. As of June 2017, RaA: The Community is now a members-only platform. You can find out more about the membership perks and sign up here – Membership Plans
