Hey y’all! My name is Natalie Andrade and I am a junior at King Drew Magnet High school. I am a proud Mexican who is always looking for ways to impact my community. I have big dreams of going to college and becoming an OBGYN. I have always wanted to be an OBGYN because it is seen as a “male job”. I want to break those barriers that are put up against me and help other women do the same. A random fact about me is that I love the color pink and will always try to make you smile even on your worst days. I am so excited to work with amazing and powerful young ladies to smash the patriarchy, but the only way for us to make real change is for you to come along on our journey, so buckle up!

Hi! My name is Neyra Hernandez and I am 16 years old and currently a junior in high school. I live in a Hispanic household where things can be loud and pretty fun. I have always wanted to change the world for the better even if it’s the smallest thing. I have seen a lot of situations with gender roles and I want to make sure that it is not seen as much in the future. I am very excited to be a part of this and to smash the patriarchy! Fun fact my favorite color is green and I love watching soccer!

Hi, my name is Andrea Aguirre! I am 17 years old and a senior at King Drew Magnet High School. I am a proud Mexicana born and raised in South Central LA. I come from a Latinx household where machismo and gender roles are normalized and accepted. Like women are supposed to do the cooking, cleaning, and only that. It has really made me feel as if society thinks I am only good and capable of that. I hope to change this so future generations of women will never have to go through this. A random fun fact about me is that I love Drake!

My mom is from Guadalajara, Jalisco and she is a single mother. She helped me realize I can do what I want as long as I work for it, I love to play volleyball and hope I get a career out of playing. |
