I am a passionate advocate for free, nutritious school meals for all students. Growing up in a diverse community, I have witnessed the challenges of unhealthy food in school canteens during this crucial stage of life. I firmly believe that no child should have to study on an empty stomach or rely on low-nutrition meals. Through my activism, I hope to create a future where every student has access to healthy, balanced, and free school meals.
