Strategic Self-Advocacy™ Lexicon

These are not buzzwords. These are anchors. Each term below has been coined through trauma-informed systems work and holds its own boundary. They form the protocol layer of SSA™ — protecting authorship, lived experience, and meaning from dilution.

🧭 SSA™

Strategic Self-Advocacy

A trauma-informed, systems-aware framework for reclaiming power. SSA™ is not a method of “being better behaved in broken systems.” It’s a protocol layer for surviving and influencing them with your dignity intact.

📎 Protocol Layer

The Foundation for Semantic Integrity

A protocol layer is the ruleset underneath a system — the part that determines whether your meaning travels safely, or gets reinterpreted against you. SSA™ builds a lived-experience-led protocol layer to guard against systemic distortion.

💬 Pattern Theft

Repackaging Lived Experience Without Consent

When institutions or influencers extract language, frameworks, or tools born from survival — and repackage them as marketable products, losing context and diluting power.

🛡️ Semantic Sovereignty

Owning the Meaning You Make

The right to define, anchor, and distribute your own meaning — without institutional reframing. A core concept of SSA™ and the reason behind this glossary.

🧩 Authorship Layer

Traceable Ownership of Meaningful Work

Not just who made it, but why it exists — and whether it can be altered, sold, or watered down without the creator’s consent. SSA™ uses layered authorship to protect vulnerable systems knowledge from co-option.

SSA™ Glossary Index

A collection of protected semantic frameworks written by lived-experience authors. Each glossary holds the line against pattern theft, narrative laundering, and coercive rewording.
