"Peer Relations: My Hill" by Sue
Today's post is a second part to last week's post from Sue, a member of Poverty Talks.
Note: "Hills to die on," besides the common usage of the phrase, is slang that our steering committee members use to describe the working groups they sit on within Poverty Talks! They follow our Core Priorities for 2016, which are Basic Income, Dignified Service Delivery, and Peer Support. Sue explains it perfectly, but the phrase will come up on several posts.

Okay so I started answering the 3 big question I was asked the other day. Why did you
join Poverty Talks!?, which I answered in the first blog. Now I will
answer: Why is peer relations the hill you chose to die on? And at
some point in the future I will answer: Why are issues surrounding
food security so important to you?.
Here we go.
PoveryTalks! came up with our 3 most
important things to work on. In no specific order they are: Basic
Income, Dignified Service and Peer Relations.
I jumped on peer relations without
having to give it too much thought. So to answer this question you
have to follow me somewhere scary, the inner workings of my mind. See
scary.
Digging around I found a couple
answers. One is that as humans we desire to leave the world a
better place than we found it to be. That’s a good answer but not
really a true gauge of the collective work we do on peer relations
because it isn’t about just the future, it’s also about the
present. So next one that came up seemed to be a little more on the
mark but came in the form of another question. If we don’t engage
with the communities we are representing how do we know we are
representing them to the best of our ability? So peer relation is
that bridge between the work and the humanity. And then I found one
more that most people would point to as the truth of my reality. I
love to talk to people. I really love people, all people from all
walks of life, in various shapes and sizes, ability levels, ages, you
name it and I will celebrate the differences and similarities. So
really I just picked what suits my personality the best.
Ultimately I get
to find ways to engage people in conversations around poverty, their
experiences and their ideas on how to improve things. Sometimes the
stories are very hard to listen to and even harder not to carry with
me but that is great part, I get to work on things that could change
the outcome of their story one day. I have the honor of being one of
the people who not only gets gifted someone’s story but I get to
then report back to PovertyTalks! and help put together a plan to
drive the Enough for All strategy’s to place that could reach that
same person. And that my friends is a hill worth dying on.
Have a Great One!
Sue Gwynn.
