SCS: To me, a SPARK is someone original, but can also be a role model.<br />
VG: How has your past influenced you as a woman<br />
SCS: I started as a young environmental activist and spoke with the UN about the importance of these issues. This<br />
point in my life truly showed the world how powerful the youth can be. Everyone wants to make a difference, and I<br />
feel my activism has helped me project this to future generations. This generation has the most at stake, and we<br />
need to have justice for the youth. I have also supported marginalized communities through grassroots<br />
organizations. Each of these experiences has helped me become the woman I am today.<br />
VG: How are you involved with the Day of <strong>Action</strong> campaign<br />
SCS: I have been able to reach out to high schools and talk about social justice. At one high school, I realized how<br />
amazing the youth is because a drama teacher had inspired her students to do a spoken-word performance on<br />
social issues. These girls were so young and they had touched my heart. They are amazing activists, and it makes<br />
me proud to recognize the power of youth. We all need to foster kids and look for that SPARK.<br />
