Young Innovator in Behavioral Health Awardee

Most of my passion points are centered around social justice, racial & educational equity, pathways to self-determination, prioritization and restorative justice practices, providing healthcare for all, and health literacy. I have been able to practice my passion points at through various policy and advocacy roles in my career by taking action for social change, sharing the stories of young adults, contributing to policy research and analysis, and providing tools for our generation to make smart economic choices, and mission-driven social enterprise ventures. I’m committed to helping build a world that recognizes everyone’s humanity and operates to serve everyone in it with compassion, love, and real accountability. I want BIPOC to have access to educational institutions, and public health resources that are equitable and don’t vary in resources, and I want that option to exist [emphatically & readily] for them to engage with if they so choose to because that is not part of the current reality & it should be.
