  • Mia Voqui (she/her)

    Publicity

    Hey! I’m 16 and currently a junior in high school. A fun fact about me is that the idea of space, stars, and the universe fascinates me and i love just staring at stars. I am most passionate about spreading awareness about social issues or conflicts going on in the world that don’t get the attention they deserve possibly because it is a minority group or because the media makes the decision to only focus on topics they feel are “important”. I think it’s very important that others are given the proper support they need to succeed and lead a happy life. I had been following the organization for quite some time and the values and goals for Giving Gratitude really intrigued me because the focus on recognizing our essential workers is a very important topic especially now and being able to share this with others is very important to me. Being able to be a part of this organization has also opened my eyes to how powerful simple cards and notes can be and how easy it can be to brighten someone’s day. I’m hoping that being a part of this organization as a publicity specialist I can also inspire others to become involved as well!

  • Abigail Tekeste (she/her)

    Journalism

    Hey! I’m 18 and a senior in high school. A fun fact about me is that I’ve done an internship regarding global diseases in third world countries! I’m passionate about being an ally/advocating for the underrepresented regarding human rights! Human Rights, I believe, are everyone's essential humanity, and they should be equally valued and preserved. Human rights are vital because they recognize human life's innate value. Human rights are fundamental freedoms that we all enjoy just because we are human. They represent important societal ideals such as justice, compassion, fairness, and decency. They are critical safeguards for all of us, especially those who may be subjected to abuse, mistreatment, or loneliness. I chose to join Giving Gratitude because I think that organizations like this improves our outlook on the world around us. We may have a good impact on the lives of others by expressing gratitude and giving back. Happiness is contagious, and we can brighten the world around us by spreading thanks.
