Kalimah
My name is Kalimah and I am 17 years old. I am a sixth year in school and a creative entrepreneur. I host a youth focused podcast to create a space for young people to be heard. I love helping people and encouraging others to use their voice and creativity. I believe that young peoples voices are powerful and can make a real difference. I run my own business called Leemah Adorns. Running my own business and podcast are my two favourite creative activities. I feel inspired and it allows me to express myself.
Alex
Hi I’m Alex! I am 16 years old from Cork. Some of my favourite hobbies include attending concerts, shopping, meeting my friends, going to scouts and going to my Youth Group, UpCork, in town. I am also, occasionally, a drag queen who goes by the name Alexis Possessive and I am obsessed with makeup and hair! When I’m being creative I feel relaxed as Drag to me is such an escape and a confidence booster. It gives me a world of my own that I have created and nothing that anyone could tell me would ever shatter that world for me. This is comforting as I know that this creativity will always be there to lift me up. I am in fifth year and am hoping to go into UCC’s Youth and Community Work course after school as I know I enjoy volunteering for summer camps and working with little minds.
