Episode 1: Advocacy in Action: Nikki Vinck's Journey of Activism and Empowerment This episode of Roar features Nikki Sapiro Vinckier, also known as Nikki Vinck, a formidable advocate for women's rights and a former reproductive healthcare physician assistant.

Vinck discusses her approach to activism, emphasizing the power of conversation and the importance of reducing political tensions through dialogue. She also shares personal anecdotes about how significant political events shaped her journey as a mother and advocate. The discussion covers her involvement in Michigan's Prop 3 and her belief in the power of individual action. Nikki offers insights into navigating challenging conversations and encourages others to engage in advocacy in ways that suit their strengths and comfort levels. The episode concludes with Nikki encouraging open dialogues via social media, offering to answer questions and share her expertise in reproductive healthcare. 00:00 Introduction to Nikki Vink 00:55 Nikki's Advocacy Journey Begins 01:55 The Lawn Sign Movement 05:03 Facing Pushback and Standing Firm 06:40 Creating Conversations and Lowering the Temperature 08:58 Personal Motivations and Family Impact 11:56 Post-Roe Advocacy and Prop 3 16:57 Navigating Advocacy and Family Life 27:42 The Power of Relational Organizing 34:50 Future Plans and Final Thoughts  @nikkivinck  Instagram:  @nikkivinck @nikkivinck https://www.tiktok.com/@nikkivinck https://linktr.ee/nikkivinck
