.Deja_Foxx: “Post-Trump administration, I spent a lot of time reflecting, What did I learn from this? What did I take from this? And I think one of the things that Gen Z is really taking away from that administration is like, Why not me?”
Illustration: Lauren Tamaki Deja Foxx has been an activist since she was 15 years old and first volunteered, knocking on doors for Planned Parenthood.
I mean, all of it was sort of unexpected for me. I started to see social media differently when I went viral, when I was 16 years old. It was a complete surprise to me. I was taking on bigger reforms around birth-control access on a national level, and I’d spoken at a town hall to my senator, and really pushed back on him about birth-control access and how he is a white man. The next morning I woke up, and nearly 18 million people had seen that video.
So yes, I have every intention of still being president one day. I’ll also add, post-Trump administration, I spent a lot of time reflecting, What did I learn from this? What did I take from this? I did this work. I was fighting for sex-education reform long before he was in office. I’m going to be doing this work long after he’s gone.
