Kate is a vegan activist, hunt sab[oteur], raging bisexual, illustrator and more. I love the way her art represents her pro-vegan and animal rights activism, plus her amazing makeup skills! I believe she is really empowering and inspiring to young people.

Luca is an extremely talented artist, with a beautifully unique style. Moreover, he is artistic in all areas - even his selfies are works of art. I commend his strength of character and creativity!
4. @ZariyaAllen
Zariya is a musician and poet. I was first introduced to her work through spoken word poetry: I was enchanted by her amazing performances and the strength that was perpetuated from her within them.
Zariya’s poetry is on many different platforms, so I will link only a few below:
An heart-wrenching poem about absent fathers, here.
An eye-opening poem about America, here.
A collaborative poem called ‘Shots Fired’, here.

Aleksandr is an inspiring young person who exhibits great kindness, positivity and bravery. He documents his life in transformation and body positivity images, as well as personal captions. His captions are raw and honest, which helps break the stigma of having to be perfect online.
