The Importance of Involving Marginalized Communities in Decision Making with Sie Savage

This is an important conversation for all of us to hear because it encompasses making change at the governmental level.

Before I get to the summary I want to celebrate and acknowledge that this is the FIRST MAN I've interviewed for the podcast! Yay! Sie is amazing and wonderful and I love him and I hope you do, too!

Sie works in the nonprofit world in the Bay Area, and he is currently working transitional youth to get them housed (you may know that affordable housing in the Bay Area is a huge problem.)

In this important conversation, we discuss the challenges faced by marginalized communities, particularly transitional age youth and young adults, in accessing healthcare and other essential resources. Sie shows us the need for more inclusive and culturally sensitive approaches to healthcare, and the importance of involving marginalized communities in decision-making processes to avoid perpetuating systems of oppression. Sie highlights the systemic obstacles faced by these young adults, including housing and self-sufficiency challenges, burnout, and the need for a holistic approach that considers the broader social and economic factors impacting their lives.
