On today’s show we will learn about an amazing group of youth activists in Montgomery County Maryland and what they are doing to create change! Our guest today is Anika Manzoor, the <a href='https://youthactivismproject.org/'>Youth Activism Project</a>’s first-ever Executive Director. She was introduced to activism when she “accidentally” co-founded School Girls Unite at the age of 12. Through Youth Activism Project, Anika discovered the power of her own voice and consequently, her own passion for youth empowerment. Anika is a graduate of Grinnell College and Harvard Kennedy School of Government. Click this <a href='https://youthactivismproject.org/'>link</a> to learn more about Anika and the Youth Activism Project!
