I am the Second Vice President of Student Government at Severna Park High School. I play for the Varsity Soccer and Basketball teams at SPHS and played Academy soccer for 4 years at Baltimore Armour.

Camille Carter, North County High School, Rising 12th grader

I have been a part of the STEM Program for 7 years and have been a STEM Student Teacher Liaison for 3 of the years. I am the Varsity Volleyball Captain and a three-year Varsity athlete. Being an athlete, not only in Anne Arundel County, but for a club team means that I have witnessed a lot of microaggressions and racism within the athletic world. I hope this forum helps us start the conversation on how we can ultimately end it.
