I'm a social and climate youth activist who has taken part in many programs and organizations seeking change and serving the SDGs by speaking out for youth and justice, and the importance of having youth involved in decision and policy-making when advocating for change.
I do live in a community where youth ideas, proposals, and actions are not so welcome, which is why I tried to take actions to present the youth voice at the table of discussions, representing my country at both national and international levels, believing that our voice could never be impersonated if we were not the ones addressing it.
I'm an SDSN fellow, the contact point of the Human Rights Working Group, a communication officer at UNMGCY, and the founder of the Together for Blue & Green initiative, where we do insist on valuing the blue and the green by taking some simple actions such as clean-up sessions within the oceans and seas, planting trees in rural or burned areas after well mending the soil, in addition to holding weekly workshops where we do introduce people to environmentalists and climate activists from all over the world and familiarize them with green business and impactful change-making stories.
