MAID: Lessons on Dignity, Perseverance and Empathy
Stephanie Land’s dreams of attending a university and becoming a writer were deferred when she and her infant daughter had to move into a homeless shelter in 2008, fleeing a violent home and lacking any form of reliable safety net. Scraping by and driven to carve out a better life for herself and her daughter, she cleaned houses by day and took college classes online by night, writing relentlessly about her experiences. Years spent in service to upper and middle class America taught her indelible lessons about dignity and perseverance on her path to become a best-selling author and economic justice advocate. In this session, Stephanie shares her journey – one that is similar to millions in America – giving voice to the often-invisible “servant” worker and slashing deep-rooted stigmas that face the working poor. Attendees will walk away with inspiration and insights to approach life with courage, determination, empathy and strength in the face of obstacles.
