Teenage leaders in the global group GirlUp went to their annual conference, virtually. They’re worried, facing bad attitudes — and experimenting with new quarantine lifestyles, including a 'no-phone' detox.
For many of the teens, the pandemic has worsened the problems against which they are passionately fighting. But that has only made them more determined to speak up. Here's what they had to say in a joint Zoom interview. Hayat Muse, 17, Minneapolis – education equity activist, a nonprofit that has offered free tutoring and mentoring for low-income students in Minneapolis for two years. Funded mainly by donations, the group has helped more than 200 students to date.
"Kow iyo Labo" means"1 and 2" in Somali and stands for two things, Muse says:"Education equity begins very early on before kids are even learning their numbers, and we, as a youth-led education movement, are just getting started!" The nonprofit has put a pause on tutoring until in-person lessons can resume.
