Alyson Roush Favorite Food: Sushi What is their mission/cause? Alyson's mission is to help provide insight on feminist ideals and experiences of young women. How is she doing it? Alyson co-founded the National Organization for Women's Chapter at her high school and is the co-president of her organization, as well. Fun Fact: Alyson loves scary movies and fall is her favorite time of the year. Inspirational quote: “She quietly expected great things to happen to her, and no doubt that's one of the reasons why they did.” - Zelda Fitzgerald. 17 years old from West Michigan Alyson Roush is a senior in high school who aims to provide insight into the feminist ideals and experiences of young women. Alyson co-founded the National Organization for Women’s Chapter at her high school with 30 members, and her organization has been consistently growing through discussion-based activities and fundraisers. Just last year, her organization raised over $300 through a fundraiser, and half of the proceeds went to a domestic violence shelter. Alyson’s goals for her school’s chapter are to do more action-based projects at local violence shelters and raise awareness for more causes relating to women, such as reproductive rights. It's incredible how Alyson has been able to accomplish so much during high school experiences, and we here at Zhive are super proud of her! Alyson Roush's Videos All Categories Play Video Play Video Alyson on Relationships Play Video Play Video Alyson on Activism Play Video Play Video Alyson on Activism in the Future About Alyson By Apsara Chopra How do you make changes when your family and community have differing views from you? Oftentimes, through history or films, we see people or characters stand up for what they believe in and fight for what they believe is right. In today’s time, it has become very accessible for people to express their opinions and suggestions to the world through various social media platforms and online resources. However, people may still face difficulties in taking action to make the change they want to see in reality. One exception to this is a young woman named Alyson Roush. Alyson Roush, a 17-year-old high school student from West Michigan, co-founded the National Organization for Women Chapter at her high school and is the co-president of her school’s chapter. The National Organization for Women aims to achieve full equality for women through public education and litigation projects. Alyson’s goal through her school’s chapter is to help spread awareness about women’s rights issues. Alyson's personal experiences in high school inspired her to create a chapter of this organization at her school and establish a long-lasting change in her community. In an interview with Every Girl, Alyson described how in high school, she dealt with much harassment; "It was something that I had experienced before and it kind of opened my eyes." These experiences made her become more conscious of sexual harassment and assault. The first step Alyson made in creating change was learning more about these issues and thoroughly researching them. In her interview, Alyson discussed how she read about women’s issues and watched documentaries, which led to the beginning of her wanting to be involved with the National Organization for Women. Alyson mentions that from learning more about sexual harassment and assault, she realized she had the ability to make a change. Alyson explained, "oh, if I can do this, then why can't I do this?” By realizing her capabilities and learning ways she could be involved in making a difference, Alyson decided she wanted a chapter of the National Organization for Women at her school. When describing her journey of creating the National Organization for Women Chapter at her school, Alyson reveals how she has grown up and lives in a conservative town, which has been difficult for her since she explains how she hasn’t had much peer support. She emphasizes that “when you're dealing with a very, very politically divided community…that's always been a big stepping stone and big barrier.” She said how finding close-knit communities of people helped her in dealing with these difficulties. However, she also describes the importance of relying on and drawing motivation from herself. Alyson describes how it is “always necessary to have extra support from friends, family, and peers, but I think you always have yourself. It's pretty much a guarantee, and so I think to be able to draw out from an internal place is especially valuable.” It's truly amazing how despite these obstacles, Alyson was able to successfully start the National Organization for Women’s Chapter at her school. In Alyson’s interview, she also describes the importance of her work to her. During the interview, Alyson also described the feelings and emotions she felt during the challenges she faced; she stated, "I would say, for me it can often be emotional, especially when in more discussion based activities.” Alyson expressed how she also feels frustrated because her grandmother dealt with the same issues that she is dealing with now. During her work, Alyson explains how sometimes it may feel discouraging when you take one step forward, but the outcome puts you two steps back. However, she emphasizes that although it can be frustrating, “even creating a small change, such as fundraising or spreading awareness, or even having discussions can create a small positive change that you know can maybe somehow affect your larger goal.” It is very eye-opening how the issues that Alyson faced in her early high school years are the same issues her grandmother faced when she was younger. This illustrates how significant these social issues are and how change must be implemented to prevent these issues from reoccurring in our society. Alyson is a very inspiring, brave, courageous, and tenacious young woman who was able to learn, research, and implement change in her community, especially in one where people’s views and opinions may be significantly different from hers. At Zhive, we are so excited to see Alyson’s journey continuously grow, and we know she is going to accomplish exceptionally great things!

17 years old from West Orange, New Jersey Marley Dias Favorite Food: Sushi What is their mission/cause? Marley pursues social justice and equity, using schools as the foundation for her change. She wants to implement diversity in classrooms and provide resources for those in need. How is she doing it? Marley collected thousands of books for her drive #1000BlackGirlBooks. Those books are donated to national and international schools, putting diversity in classrooms. These stories are shared with the young girls of today and inspire them to pursue their own change. Fun Fact: Marley used to play with Rubik’s Cubes and can solve them fast! She can crochet and make all sorts of creations. Marley is a film junkie and spent a year watching one movie a day. Inspirational quote: Marley knew that if change was going to happen, it needed to begin with her: “It was no longer about ‘can I do it?’ — it [was] ‘when will I do it?’” Date of recording: July 10, 2022 Marley Dias took her passion for reading to a whole new level when she began the #1000BlackGirlBooks drive in West Orange, New Jersey. Her cause launched into the public eye and grew to be a campaign lasting a year. She collected thousands of books and donated them to nationwide and international schools with the goal of adding diversity to classroom bookshelves. Since then, Marley has worked to raise awareness and uplift the voices of women of color. She continues to tell the stories and experiences of black girls, inspiring young women to create change for themselves, their community, and the world. Marley is a novel changemaker! Marley Dias All Categories Play Video Play Video 04:51 Marley Dias Changemaker Play Video Play Video 04:53 Marley Dias Full Interview Play Video Play Video 01:57 1000 Black Girls Campaign Play Video Play Video 06:32 Difficult Days with Marley Dias Play Video Play Video 02:37 Proud Author Marely Dias About Marley By Clove Morgan Everyone has taken the trip to the school library in search of their next read. Books are the most critical school supply and necessary in all forms of learning. They serve as the foundation for education. Some of us have the privilege of seeing ourselves in the pages we read. We have a plethora of literature at our fingertips with millions of stories to become a part of. Marley Dias didn’t see it that way. Marley, a self-proclaimed “heavily engaged reader,” noticed a distinct lack of representation on her classrooms’ bookshelves. The stories being told were not ones she identified with, ones that she doubted other people of color and young girls would feel familiar with. In 2015, she launched an event called the #1000BlackGirlBooks drive to collect 1000 books with black female protagonists to donate to schools. Once the media caught wind of her cause, her project took off into a much larger year-long campaign. The event that once predicted a final number of 1000 books surpassed 13,000 donations. Marley, in her outstanding success proceeded to donate those books to schools nationwide and beyond. “I feel very very proud of what I was able to do at such a young age,” Marley says now, seven years later, “and the amount of rooms that I found myself in where nobody looked like me… to make my story known.” After her experience with #1000BlackGirlBooks, she went on to write her own book titled: Marley Dias Gets It Done: And So Can You! Her book provides a guide for young girls who want to make their own change and come into their own person. Marley shares the need for support and resources for young people who want to make active shifts in their community. She described her own experiences with insight as to how she started. When she was only ten years old, she worked with her local YMCA to provide books to those in need. She always had a passion for reading and wanted to spread her love to others. “I want to be able to transform what publishing looks like and what education looks like,” Marley explained in an interview with Zhive. Those industries have a monumental impact on youth today, and the lack of representation is working against a brighter future. Marley is aware of the diverse communities in society, and she was made conscious of her duty to pursue change in the world from a young age. As she grew, Marley was able to transform her view of supporting and uplifting others. Affirmation of importance played a huge role in her journey for social justice. She realized that she owed it to others to have her activism intersectional and all-encompassing. Marley described her admiration for strong women in media, politics, and more. However, she owes her devotion to making changes to her mom. Marley’s mom, Dr. Janice Johnson Dias, began the GrassROOTS Community Foundation (GCF) as a support system for women and girls in economic distress. She taught Marley to care about others and advocate for those who need their voices heard. Marley always felt a need to share stories and provide support for her community. Over half of her life has been spent dedicated to uplifting the voices of young girls of color and offering resources to those in need. From her local town to a national and international scale, she donated the stories that represented what she wanted to see growing up. Now, she is continuing to spread awareness for issues regarding racial and gender-based injustice. Marley uses her voice to promote diversity and be the one to start the action for change and encourages others to do the same. “It was no longer about ‘can I do it?’ — it’s like ‘when will I do it?’” Marley tells us.

18 years old from Marin County, California Hollis Belger Favorite Food: Hamburger What is their mission/cause? To raise funds for St. Jude Children's Research Hospital through her organization, Juggling for Jude How is she doing it? She juggles her soccer ball in exchange for donations every day of the summer. Hollis juggles to ensure children with cancer are treated free of charge. Fun Fact: She can name all 50 states and their capitals. Inspirational quote: Success is not built on your accomplishment but grounded in what you do for others. Date of recording: August 2, 2023 Hollis Belger, a remarkable 18-year-old, is the founder of Juggling For Jude, a fundraiser that aims to raise funds for St. Jude Children's Research Hospital through soccer juggling. Her inspiring journey began when she was just nine years old. During her first summer, her goal was to raise $1,000 by juggling her soccer ball. However, she managed to raise over $33,000 – that was when she knew it was going to be a long-term project. Besides her incredible juggling feats, Hollis is a passionate advocate for youth in philanthropy. Through platforms like her Ted Talk, public speaking engagements at schools, leadership conferences, and St. Jude events, she emphasizes the importance of fostering purpose among adolescents through philanthropic endeavors. To date, Hollis has been able to raise over $750,000, dedicating her time and energy to perfecting her juggling skills while also making a difference in the lives of children battling cancer. Hollis Belger All Categories Play Video Play Video 14:11 Hollis Full Length Interview Play Video Play Video 02:00 Hollis on Traveling Play Video Play Video 06:35 Hollis on Culture Play Video Play Video 01:47 Hollis on Wellness (Advice for friends) Play Video Play Video 04:54 Hollis on Wellness (Difficult Days) About Hollis By Juliet Philips In a world where young people are often stereotyped as self-absorbed and disconnected, Hollis Belger defies the stereotype. At just 18 years old, Hollis has embarked on a mission to combat pediatric cancer through her organization, Juggling for Jude . With her incredible juggling skills, unwavering determination, and compassionate heart, Hollis is inspiring us all. Hollis's journey started when she discovered her talent for juggling at a young age. It quickly became more than just a hobby; it became a means for her to give back to those in need. She combined her love for juggling with her desire to help children with cancer, and Juggling for Jude was born. Since its inception, Juggling for Jude has gained widespread attention, touching hearts and inspiring countless individuals. Through her juggling performances, Hollis has leveraged her skills to raise funds for St. Jude Children's Research Hospital , a leading institution in the treatment and research of childhood cancer. Over the years, Hollis has managed to raise over $700,000 to fund life-saving research at St. Jude. Every dollar she raises brings us one step closer to finding cures for childhood cancers and providing hope to families facing the unimaginable. What is truly remarkable about Hollis's journey is her ability to inspire others along the way. Her positivity and infectious energy captivate audiences of all ages, galvanizing them to join in her cause. She has created a ripple effect of compassion and activism, encouraging individuals to step up and make a difference, no matter their age or talents. Hollis's impact extends far beyond fundraising; she has become a beacon of hope for children battling cancer and a symbol of empowerment for young people worldwide. Since beginning her journey, her original project has grown into many different avenues of impact. Hollis’s endeavors have evolved to include being an advocate for youth in philanthropy through public speaking at local schools, cultivating sustainable philanthropic practice amongst youth, and participating in social and educational policy reform. When asked what she wishes adults knew about teenagers, Hollis responded, “I wish that adults understood that teenagers and children are capable of more than they think.” Hollis also mentions the importance of her support network, shedding light on the pillars that keep her motivated in her journey. “My biggest supporters, aside from my donors, are my mom, my dad, my sister and my extended family, but my rocks are my friends from St. Jude. They are what drives me day in and day out to do this work,” said Hollis in her interview with Zhive. What truly sets Hollis apart is her unwavering dedication and determination. She has made it her mission to raise as much money as possible to support pediatric cancer research. In addition to these accomplishments, she has always been an advocate for prioritizing oneself in a way that is healthy and balanced. Her advice to all her friends is to take a second to reflect on what you want before making decisions. “Always remember to prioritize yourself, because it’s not selfish to do something because it makes you feel good, or to not do something because it would make you feel better if you didn’t,” Hollis shares. Through Juggling for Jude, Hollis is proving that together, we can juggle through adversity and offer solace to those in need. Her journey showcases the power of combining our passions with philanthropy, reminding us that there is no limit to what we can achieve when we put our hearts and minds to it. Hollis now sits as an advisory member on the NorCal St. Jude Team to work on engaging the next generation with St Jude’s mission. She is working on how they can bring St. Jude onto social media platforms in an effective way that will expose youth to the life-saving work that is happening at St. Jude. Hollis is also currently preparing for college life. She still plans on continuing to juggle and being involved with the soccer program at her university, but she also wants to delve further into the philanthropy field. “I think as I go to college, I definitely want to expand more in the philanthropic sector and youth and philanthropy in general,” Hollis said, “continuing to do research on the importance of adolescence and purpose and how we can cultivate that in our school curriculums and public school systems.” In the future, Hollis would also like to help develop philanthropic platforms for large corporations. To learn more about Juggling for Jude or to contribute to Hollis's mission, you can visit their website at www.jugglingforjude.com . Together, let's continue to support Hollis Belger as she juggles her way toward a brighter future for all children battling cancer. Want to be featured? We got you covered.
