Episode 5 - Hannah Aguilar & Sophie Szew
Hannah Aguilar and Sohpie Szew were both in high school when they met and began stepping into their leadership. They both supported and encouraged each other while serving as Presidents of their school’s student bodies at majority White student schools. They both shared the same vision to support other Latine student-change makers to form a mentoring networks that fosters cultural pride and supports more students to step into leadership.
While organizing Latine students at their respective schools, they took it further and organized the Youth Latinx Leadership Conference which included hundreds of other Latine youth from across southern California.
Hannah is finishing her senior year of high school where she also serves as President of her schools Equity, Diversity and Inclusion Committee, and is working hard to put on another Youth Latinx Leadership Conference in April.

She is a mental health and cultural justice advocate, writer, educator, and award winning poet. Her mission is to change the dialogue around marginalized bodies and mental healthcare access. She also serves on Lady Gaga’s Born This Way Foundation as a Youth Advisory Board Member and on the Youth Mental Health Leadership Council (YMHLC) for Mental Health America .
