What is important to you?

Dance, Music and being a girl.

What is it like to be a girl in your world?

Amazing and OK! Amazing because what girls can do in the world. And “OK” because we are [still] vulnerable.

What is something you think Adults need to know about your world?

How life is challenging for us. Adults need to know that life for us is challenging, busy and complex. Adults make a big deal about too many things; calm your self.
