About the workshop

You have an amazing story to tell. It is one that can uplift, inspire, shape, and transform the world. The only problem is, you might not know how to tell your story. You might be unsure of the words to say, have confusion about what is most important, or lack confidence.

Rebecca will conduct speaker and social media training to equip volunteers with skills to effectively tell their story, influence stakeholders, and drive change. She will cover building confidence, mastering your elevator speech and crafting compelling narratives, and navigating social media engagement.

This workshop is a GREAT addition to our usual Advocacy Workshop. We strongly suggest that anyone who is interested in advocacy efforts (in any setting) attend this workshop.

A very special thanks to Rebecca Kaplan for hosting this workshop!

About AEEP

Started in 2017, End of Endo Project Inc (American End of Endo Project) was created to bridge the numerous gaps in the healthcare system that cause endometriosis sufferers to be denied timely diagnosis and effective treatment.

After suffering for 18 years with little to no help from the medical community and after countless doctors, useless tests, and ineffective treatments, founder Holly Sanneman finally found the answers and support she needed. Now, years later, she is still enjoying remission from endometriosis, a concept unheard of to most of the endometriosis community due to the vast misinformation about the condition.

American End of Endo Project provides good, easy-to-understand information, a directory of endometriosis specialists and pelvic physical therapists, a fundraising platform for endometriosis care (Yellow Ribbon Pages), and a brand new grant program for endometriosis care (Diana Peterson Williams Memorial Fund). Additionally, AEEP hosts awareness events, participates in the Worldwide Endometriosis March, and speaks with students, scientists, lawmakers, healthcare professionals, and other individuals about the importance of accurate information and support for those who suffer with the condition.
