I had the opportunity to talk to fellow Americans from across the country during the Youth Declaration of Human Rights. I got to talk to other young advocates about finding solutions to improve the American domestic and foreign policy. I was able to hear concerns from young leaders on how we can empower the youth to participate in women's rights organizations and on the fight on the prevention of climate change. During my discussion on the "Gender Equality Development Session"  I was able to emphasize on the importance of having more women in politics and diplomacy. I was also able inspire youths from across the U.S. to fight for their rights as a woman and I was able to inspire them that nothing impossible. Everyone is capable to be in the field of politics and diplomacy, as long as you are passionate for a cause and are willing to create a positive change in our world today, then politics and leadership is for you. It does not matter what your background is as long as you are willing to fight for the rights of our fellow citizens, then nothing is impossible to achieve at the field of leadership.  

 

During my meeting with the UN, my fellow advocates and I had a great meeting  with Ms. Jayathma Wickramanayake, United Nations Secretary-General's Envoy on Youth for International Youth Day! It was great to learn from youths from around the world on their concerns on how we can improve policy development in foreign relations and how we can improve the SDG agenda of the UN. I also had a discussion with the US Special Envoy of the youth Abby Finkenauer and the U.S. Department of State. We were able to discuss the importance of youth involvement in foreign relations. Not only that, I am deeply honoured to represent the State of New York at the LCOY Youth Summit in Washington DC on October, which is organized by "YOUNGO" and UN Climate Change! And I am so excited to represent the 12th Congressional District of New York on the campaign for the fight against malaria.
