In this episode, Jess sits down with two phenomenal young women, Taylor Richardson and Khloe Thompson. At just 17-years-old, Taylor is a STEM and girls’ empowerment advocate who’s led literacy and fundraising campaigns to inspire other girls of color to go after their dreams -- especially in the science and tech fields. Khloe is the 13-year-old founder of “Khloe Kares,” a charity committed to providing handmade bags to homeless women and men on the streets in her community.
In a truly inspiring conversation, Jess, Taylor, and Khloe discuss what led them to care about activism at such a young age, how they are learning to redefine the way they lead by creating community connection and how the legacies they wish to leave in the world will inspire other kids to take action in their everyday lives - now! These bright young activists remind us that a quest for social change can start at any age, and when you seek a world where people have equal access and opportunity -- everyone can enjoy a Good Life.
