I am hopeful that when my generation becomes the holders of power, we will be able to really make long strides towards a more equitable world.

One thing I learned from that conversation is that the key to intercepting youth from falling into disconnection is to show them that you actually do care for them and genuinely want them to succeed...

"Young people can channel their stress, anxiety, and helplessness into their community. Getting together to solve problems can empower youth and make them feel useful."

I realized that the world wasn’t as kind as I thought it was, which forced me to be more active in consuming the news and learning about our systems.

My advice to practitioners and researchers is come to us, the youth, and let us enlighten you on the issues youth face and what supports we need.

My focus… is to help build youth financial capability in order to put youth on the path to financial wellbeing in adulthood.

Remember that no one has gotten where they are without help!

Education justice means radically rethinking public education and that takes investing in young people.
