On October 15th, 2025 I had the immense honor and privilege to serve as a panelist at The City Club of Cleveland on a youth-led forum titled “Youth Activism: How Students Can Create Change“.
” The City Club of Cleveland is one of the nation’s great free speech forums,… founded in 1912, and renowned for … tradition of debate and discussion. For more than a hundred years, all of our speakers—from sitting presidents to community activists—have answered unfiltered, unrehearsed questions directly from the audience.” – The City Club of Cleveland about Page
The forum allowed me to connect with over 150 students, community leaders, small business owners, elected officials and discuss important topics and questions many members of the younger generation had, when it comes to getting more involved. The questions asked by the moderator, and audience were well thought out and delivered, and truly showed passion for involvement in and around the community.
As an educator, ensuring the younger generation is prepared to step up, and lead in their schools, communities and country is important to me. Feel free to watch the recording of the forum provided by The City Club of Cleveland below to see how passionate and engaged all in attendance were.
