Mobilizing Youth Toward Advocacy

January 20, 2020

I'm back with a new episode after a short holiday break.  Here's hoping for a great 2020 for you, your friends and loved ones.
 
Think back to your high school days.  What took up most of your time and energy.  If you were like me it was sports, hanging out with friends and sometimes being up to no good.  I was somewhat aware of the civic and social issues happening around us, but I was in no way mature enough to help address any of them.
 

Today's
guest, Fadumo Roble, isn't spending her high school days like I did.  Fadumo is the President and Founder of Movement of Advocacy for youth, or MAY.  They are a youth led
organization working to promote solutions to social justice issues that impact
their community.  When I say youth led, I
don't meant college age, all of the leaders are still in high school and they
work to help inform and education their peers on issues that impact all of us.

They still hang out with friend and focus on academic issues, but they're also dedicating their time to help make things better all around us.  I'm
grateful to them for their efforts and the legacy they'll leave for others.
