Hey, I am a freshman BMAH student and really like the medical field.  I wanted to be a part of this forum because debating and discussing are things I like to do.  When it comes to Women’s Rights, it should be able to be heard. Especially in the STEM program, many girls want to be engineers and join the medical field in the STEM part of it and for them to get dragged down by saying they can’t do that is wrong.

Hey! My name is Taylor Chunn and I am co-president of my Black History club and FBLA Maryland State Champion for public speaking. I have always been an outspoken person and speaking up for those who don't feel like they had a voice. I wanted to be apart of this forum because I feel women are so underestimated in "male dominated" fields and I wanted to bring to the conversation to light on breaking gender roles society has made for centuries.

Hello! My name is Meghan Field, and I am a 7th grader at Brooklyn Park Middle School. I have played softball for 8 years, and I am a PVA student. I want to be a part of this forum because I feel very strongly about Women’s Rights and would love to share my opinion!

Hi, I'm Caroline Finn, a sophomore in the STEM program at South River High, and I am excited to be a part of this Let's Talk Justice panel regarding women's rights. A fun fact about me is that my feminist role models include Ruth Bader-Ginsberg and Angela Davis. I wanted to be a part of this forum because Women's rights and the effects of the patriarchy is a topic I am greatly passionate about. Being an aspiring woman engineer, I have seen first-hand the oppressive mindset that has led to a gender inequality that has endured in America. Wanting to investigate this issue, I started the club Femgineers (to promote female engineers) at South River. In this club, we are working to combat the stereotypes that have led to an incredible lack of representation of women in the STEM fields, and especially engineering. The opportunity to spread awareness about a movement such as Women's Rights and the oppressive nature of the patriarchy is one that I am truly thrilled to participate in, and I look forward to a productive and candid discussion!

Hello! I am a current chairperson for Northeast's NHS equity committee and I have always had a passion for advocating for equitable treatment for all. I am hoping to pursue law going forward in my college career. I believe that the ability for us to share our voices so openly and to hear from our peers, which I believe is even more valuable, is such a gift that I am happy to be able to take advantage of.

I'm SGA President and NJHS Vice President, and I want to take part in this forum to help inspire, especially women everywhere,  that we have a voice and if we use it and stay united, we can accomplish great things.

My name is Hala and I go to Crofton High School. I'm on the cross country team, I love being involved in my school and community, and in my free time I enjoy art and watching movies. I am passionate about social justice and believe that it is the duty of all people to advocate for each other and leave the world in a better place than they found it.

Hey I’m Jayna! I love baking pies, cakes, and bread. I really wanted to be on this forum because I’m very passionate about activism; and, think I can bring to light issues not talked about enough when it comes to women’s rights.

I love to read and write. I also love watching Ted X talks and discovering new psychology podcasts. I wanted to take part of this forum because discussing Women's rights is something I have always been passionate about ever since it occurred to me, after an eye opening discussion with my male cousins, that men still don't understand the danger and insecurity that comes with being a woman in our flawed society.

My name is Megha Thomas and I am a junior at South River High School. Outside of school, I love Bollywood dancing and tutoring (virtually of course)! I am currently working with a fifth grader and a girl from Ukraine. I am excited to serve as a panelist on this forum because women's rights deserves a county level platform for discussion. I would love to hear experiences, concerns, and hopes regarding women's rights from other students.
