Interview with an Advocate for Inclusion

Hoping Forward - God Stories in Everyday

Tracy Hokanson is wife to Jeff and mom to Zeke, Nate and Mabel. Through her kids, Tracy’s eyes were opened to the need for inclusion. Helping her daughter navigate the world with her disabilities ignited Tracy’s passion not only for inclusion, but education and disability advocacy. While people might say she is the perfect mom for her kids because she is such a great advocate she likes to say advocacy picked her. Mabel and Tracy recently started making reels trying to educate about disabilities and inclusion one reel at a time. You can find her on Facebook or Instagram.

If you are part of a family impacted by disability, I hope you will look into the ministry of Hope Heals. It is powerful and healing! If you are interested in walking alongside these families and being part of something so much bigger than yourself, you should check them out and become a Compassionate Companion or help in another aspect of camp. I guarantee it will have a wonderful impact on you and your family!
