Since the age of 13, Anna Livia Chen has been fighting for the queer community. It began when Prop 8 took away the right to marry from her two moms and thousands of other queer couples in California, and has grown into a high school legacy of queer activism. From being the president of her Queer-Straight Alliance for three years to her involvement as Multicultural Commissioner on her school’s Associated Student Body to serving as the only youth on steering committees for the City of Mountain View’s Diversity Youth Forum and screenings of Miss Representation, Anna Livia has been fighting for safer spaces and starting important conversations all throughout high school. Anna Livia is a Freshman at Swarthmore College in Pennsylvania as a prospective sociology major.
