my understanding of what an activist and what social justice‚ equity‚ and community organizing are has expanded drastically. Yes‚ an activist is all the things I mentioned before‚ but an activist is also someone who works tirelessly and puts all they have into a cause that goes against the common opinion in a society where the big and powerful corporations tend to get what works best for them.

What it means to be Australian. Personally‚ being an Australian to me means celebrating freedom and the diverse number of people.
