This document discusses finding your passion and voice through self-advocacy. It describes how Roland Johnson was a pioneer in the self-advocacy movement who inspired others to find their passion and voice. It explains that having passion means feeling emotion about issues that affect your life and knowing what is best for you. Having a voice means sharing concerns, speaking up, making plans, and supporting others. It provides an example of how People First of New Hampshire advocated together by voicing their concerns over budget cuts threatening services, which resulted in the cuts not going through as planned.
