You're doing a great job of bringing each of your subjects into focus, by following their paths. People who care really do require more than a call for action. They need a "base" for connection and directions, as well. Sounds like Anika understands the research that will be necessary to "connect the dots"! I found myself really wanting to know the name of the film that sparked her passion and began her journey.

I love this idea of connecting communities with educational institutions in the area. There is power in this partnership. I love that you have met Anika through your Youth Social Change Fellowship group.

Your perspective on this question is interesting and provocative. If we can step out of the familiar routines, more can be done, right? We just need to see it, and do it.
