Liz Minnella is a fundraiser, organizer, and advocate whose career has taken her from hospitality sales and marketing to political organizing and grassroots advocacy. After the mass shootings in Uvalde and Highland Park in 2022, Liz became increasingly involved in efforts to address gun violence in Illinois and has since helped connect people, resources, and organizations working to create change.In our conversation, we explore Liz’s unconventional path into politics, what motivated her to get more involved, and what she has learned about organizing, fundraising, and building movements. We also talk about finding your purpose, knowing when to take action, the importance of getting involved in your community, and why Liz believes your purpose should be written in pen while your path stays in pencil.Whether you’ve been thinking about getting more involved in your community, wondering how to turn your values into action, or simply trying to figure out what your next chapter looks like, this conversation is a reminder that you don’t have to have the entire path mapped out to start making an impact.Liz Minnella WebsiteFollow Liz on LinkedInFollow Liz on InstagramLink to purchase:FYLPxTracee Badway Merch CollaborationFYLPxWRDSMTH Merch Collaboration*suggestion is to size upDownload this episode of For Your Listening Pleasure wherever you get your podcasts!
