This conversation inspired a piece in National Fisherman that went semi-viral in the BC commercial fishing community, I am told. I am so honored to help facilitate a fellow POCF to speak their truth and get their voices heard!

Melissa goes off, and it is inspiring to hear what this POCF, mom, and small business owner is working to improve and fight for their fishery. Note: She DID know this was being recorded for the private podcast series, so that you know 😉 , and she gets really personal about what’s happening to the fisheries up there. It’s just different when you speak to people who get you, am I right? (That’s you, POCF!)

If you are interested in advocacy work, this is how you do it. Melissa is also super open and looking forward to connecting with you, too!

Also, I would love to help be a platform for you in that way if needed. Let’s get your story told on the public podcast (or private if you prefer), National Fisherman Magazine, the POCF Blog, and more. Contact support@pocfpride.com to start the convo!
