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.
?? Follow me Maya Siegel for weekly social impact-focused opportunities for young people :)
Absolutely inspired by your effort, Maya Siegel! It reminds me of what Nelson Mandela once said - Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world. Your work empowering young leaders in climate action truly embodies this spirit. Keep blazing trails! ?????? #climateaction #inspirationalquotes
