Serena Griffin, Berkeley's vice youth poet laureate, has been named a Girls Leading Change honoree by First Lady Jill Biden for her youth empowerment work through poetry and storytelling.
Being at the White House to receive recognition was surreal for Griffin, who felt inspired by her fellow honorees, including activists and scientists making significant social impacts.
Griffin founded EmpowHer Poets, an initiative where she teaches poetry writing to younger students, emphasizing the importance of creative expression in advocating for social change.
She actively participates in the California Commission on the Status of Women and Girls, showcasing her commitment to youth advocacy and empowerment on a larger scale.
