Hope808 is a consulting firm with an emphasis not only on elevating issues, but out-louding them. Elevating issues that have already made it to the table, is not nearly as hard as digging the issues out from beneath the moldy foundation, washing them off to make the palatable, and placing them on the table.
Zahava "Zee" Zaidoff is an expert at out-louding things. She says the things that need saying with a style that is a mixture of calling people out and calling them in, simultaneously.
From sharing her stories as they relate to federal programs such as SNAP and Medicaid, to facilitating trainings on ableism, her experience really runs the gamut.
Zee has been living in Hawaii county with her family for over 10 years. She holds several certifications including Masters Level Registered Addiction Specialist and Co-Occurring disorder specialist. She herself is in recovery from substance use disorder for over two decades.
Working with the LGBTQIA+ community, fighting for disability rights and against systemic ableism, creating an equitable and just federal and state benefit system, removing stigma from the behavioral health narratives, and focusing on youth suicide prevention are the main areas of Zee's advocacy and education work.
At Hope808, we believe that authentic conversations and the sharing of life experiences is the crucial and missing piece in all of our systems, and that these systems must partner with those with lived expertise, if lasting change is to be attained.
