🤝🏽 Last Saturday’s Public Health Forum on Healing and Advocacy united our community in a powerful display of hope and resilience in response to the Tijuana Watershed Pollution Crisis. Mayor Aguirre and Senator Steve Padilla sat down for an insightful conversation with Dr. Mona Hanna, an early whistleblower of the Flint water crisis. Her message was one of hope, reminding us with the strength of our community and unwavering determination, we can overcome any challenge. 💪🏿 🌱 From advocacy artmaking to learning about innovative green infrastructure at the World Design Capital San Diego Tijuana 2024 Exchange Pavilion, the day was a testament to the strength of community and collective action. Prebys Foundation is deeply honored to support this movement and extends heartfelt gratitude to Surfrider Foundation San Diego County and the many community members who came together to make this day possible. #PrebysFoundation #SanDiegoCounty

“I try to remember that, obviously, young people don't know everything. They're not going to be perfect, and this is a place for them to learn and grow. I also try to do my best to give them the advice that I wish I had gotten. For example, I grew up also being a woman, and this is a very male-dominated field. So, when I was 18, I pushed myself a lot harder physically and lifted things I shouldn't have or should have gotten help with. I did things that I wasn't totally comfortable with and should have stood my ground and asked somebody else to do it. So, I really do push the safety aspect—to keep their body safe, to speak up for themselves. Yes, try to push yourself, but don't do it too hard. And I think that I have a good balance with that. I actually had an intern who does not deal well with heights, and he thanked me a couple of weeks back for always finding ways to encourage him. Anytime I think of something that is height-related, but that maybe he would feel safe doing, I always try to bring it up to him, like, hey, I'm not pushing you, but do you want to try doing this to see if you can step outside of your comfort zone? The biggest thing that this internship teaches the younger people is agency and ownership. We are around and definitely there to help them, but we try to push them to make decisions as much as possible, and really take control of what they are doing.” -Amber Steinbeck, Master Electrician, California Center for the Arts, Escondido Read Amber’s full story at https://lnkd.in/gCTvi8R9
