Hi Everyone!

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🥴
    5. Fitness is one of my big new years resolutions! I'm a big runner, planning to (re)start gym, and am really loving training Muay Thai🏃🏾‍♂️ Thanks for reading, and hope everyone has an amazing week!🌟
