Marley Dias:
Tell us everything you want people to know about you in one sentence.
I am a young elevated black girl who loves to read, play video games, eat diner food, and change the world.
What has the past year of your life taught you?
Being a student of life and being open to criticism from those in your community are the keys to growth. I have known that these things are important since I was very young. I have also learned that my voice is not the only voice that has value.
Where do you want to be in five years?
I want to learn how to revolutionize the way we tell stories and include other young people in the process of changing the world.
