The Autism in Black Podcast is hosted by Maria Davis-Pierre, LMHC and focuses on all things autism and the black parent experience. Our goal is to educate, support, and empower black parents to advocate not only for their children but themselves as well.

Today we are joined by Naomi Studevan who is the Founder and Executive Director of Advocacy Unlimited, LLC. Naomi talks with us about what advocacy is and how she believes in a holistic advocacy approach. She then goes on to talk about how parents can benefit from having a parent advocate as well as some tips on effective ways to advocate in the school system. Naomi then talks about what you can be doing for self care as a parent right now.
