Is it necessary to self-advocate?

Is it necessary to self-advocate? Yes, it necessary to your mental and emotional health to self-advocate. It is needed due to expressing your needs to others. There's an awesome definition that I found on the cedwvu.org website.  The link is below if you would like to read the article. For this episode, I am reading from Proverbs 31:8-9 about advocating.
