WHY I STARTED THIS NEWSLETTER:

I started learning about and sharing (mainly youth-focused) social justice opportunities on social media in 2019 beside Genz Girl Gang and have been obsessed with doing so ever since. These opportunities have helped me grow as a leader and professional, and I love increasing their visibility.
