What began with a connection through her mom turned into a passion for Aaliyah Currier (10).. By joining the BVSD Youth Equity Council, she discovered her passion to train teachers on equity in education and how to amplify the voices of communities that are too often overlooked.
“I’ve actually created trainings for teachers to like, be less racist in class and homophobic and like how to handle those situations,” she said.
That same commitment to helping others extends beyond the classroom, shaped by her own experience with epilepsy, Aaliyah hopes to become a neurologist specializing in the condition so she can support kids facing the challenges she once did.
