Hi Everyone!
I'm Anthony (he/him), and I'm part of the Youth Voice Team here at The Mix. I joined a little over a month ago--I've been lurking on the forums, but I've only just managed to get my community account working🙏
My job is to run the Opportunities Network, where we host workshops and events. My goal is to make sure that the voice of young people is heard in every aspect of our work, and that the opportunities we give you are useful and meaningful. I just turned 25 so my days are counting down as a young person🙃, but I'm enjoying the role a lot -- although it can be quite confusing when you start!👉👈
In the past, I've been part of similar youth networks in mental health and adoption/care-experience. I'm particularly interested in the multiple identities and worlds (race, gender, families, LGBTQ+) that young people move between daily. I care a lot about putting the most marginalised people at the centre of our work❤
Fun facts:
1. I'm a big fan of improv theatre and have performed in several shows🎭
2. I had a bearded dragon growing up🦎
3. I'm a huge sci-fi nerd: please ask me about Lord of the Ring's, Hunger Games, Game of Thrones and give me recs!📖
4. I don't like capers or raisins🥴

Welcome!
I'm also trying to focus a little bit more on my health this year 💪
Looking forward to seeing you around Community
Nice. Im still on Mockingjay I just need to get round to reading then onto songbirds and snakes. Are you excited for sunrise on the reaping to come out this year?. Ooo see I feel like I might be team Peeta (because he can paint and I do like arty people haha).
@Sian321 making sure even staff know the rules
Same here it's nice to see Suzanne actually delving more into the history of Panem and seeing more world building aspects specifically to do with the history of the place. If it's one thing I love, it's world building because a lot of the time I've read books where the world building is very rare and mid and doesn't explain most of the plot at all. I heard very good things about songbirds and snakes especially the film too. I got the book actually but the hard back cover one.
That's so cool you have the hardcover as well! You'll have to update me on your thoughts once you start reading!
Oh yeah definitely history fascinates me a lot to be fair. I'll definitely let you know my thoughts once I read the books and caught up offically
I'm trying to focus on improving what i eat and also trying to go outside everyday for some exercise and to actually see the sun for a little bit each day.
