I am Abigail Buchanan: a sixteen-year-old student, tennis player, wordsmith, and self-proclaimed movie critic. But behind the scenes, I’m a public speaking enthusiast and all-around advocate for underrepresented minorities like myself. I discovered my passion for speaking on progressive topics during the summer of 2020 when I was confined to the constraints of my room during the COVID-19 pandemic. I marveled at the activists I saw in videos, reposts, and movies. And now, I finally have the opportunity to do more than just aspire to be these brave advocates I see online. I used my platform to give a self-written speech on intergenerational trauma in the black community in February of 2022 at a state speech competition. I am now using my voice and this TEDx platform to bring light to the massive progress our society has made in making underrepresented voices heard. My hope is to also use this speech to contribute to the ongoing fight for equality and dismantling the patriarchy.
