I realise I'm still a child, though I do feel older.

The point of my work is to make it clear that all youth can make 'big miracles' happen.

Prom has all the elements of a popular story. It reeks of all-Americanness, tension, drama. It has romance. Pretty dresses. Dancing. Limos. High school. Coming of age.

Since the age of four, I've been exploring what I can do with the written word: everything from championing literacy and youth voice to raising awareness about world hunger.

As children, we have a tenuous idea of love; we often try to quantify it with how much we feel seen and heard.

The unsaid message of that endless rack of juniors' pushup bras? No matter what size you are, it still isn't good enough.

If I had my way, I'd end all wars and poverty. We should all be more aware of what's going on in the world around us and less ignorant.
