I became a Young Food Ambassador because I hate the phrase 'You are too young'. If I want I can do anything and no I am not too young to do anything. If I have to stand up for my fellow humans throughout the UK who are struggling with food problems I will.
The reason why I decided to become a Young Food Ambassador is so I can be apart of changing our nation’s health by inciting change to our flawed food system especially in more affected areas that cheapen the food quality.
I’ve seen how access to food shapes every part of a young person’s life, from personal wellbeing to health and educational outcomes. My interest in advocacy started from lived experience, noticing the quiet but constant ways that food insecurity affects opportunity. Alongside wider work in policy and youth leadership, I want to help centre young voices in conversations that often overlook them. This role is a chance to push for a fairer system: one where healthy food isn’t a luxury, but a baseline.
