Connections & Conversations with Dee Batiste
Connections and Conversations, is an Advocacy Arena Podcast fostering pathways to strengthen our communities.
In 2021 I began hosting virtual roundtable type conversations to foster more civic participation. They were informative and inspiring.
I discovered some hidden heroes amongst every day citizens and felt they deserved hi lighting —
I want you to meet them and other change makers around the country in different fields.
We’ll peek behind the scenes to explore their contributions and impact.
I’m Dee Batiste, your host. I’m also a veteran continuing to serve by focusing on community.
Advocacy Arena is here to help cultivate the growth of healthy, strong, thriving communities— I hope you will join me on this journey.
The podcast is an outgrowth of a growing grassroots community of diverse citizens with common concerns based in our shared search for solutions.
