What motivated you to write this book?
I just entered this entire project with the intention of the book reaching all who need it, [of it] just falling into the hands of all who may need this message, who may need this upliftment or guide [or] whatever it may be. I’m just so fulfilled with and proud of what I’ve put out into the world and what so many people have poured into me for me to even pour into the book.
As a young activist, how do you feel about leading the charge in these conversations?
I think it’s really interesting because so many people are like “move over adults,” like, “let the kids handle it.” And I get that for sure. And I appreciate the support and the amplification of young voices like mine, and to be supported by so many adults in my life is great. But I think that it’s even more amazing when we all put our experiences, our perspectives, our passion for change together versus saying this one group must be responsible for making this change.
