Author Biography

Manreet Kaur

Manreet Kaur has always been interested in politics, policies, and humanitarian projects. Problem solving is her passion as well, and she can’t help but see the world through a more simplified lens. She sometimes thinks that if only so-and-so would use their money or influence to help this situation, or if we all came together to change this policy, things could be better. However, she knows issues, especially systematic issues, run much deeper than that and cannot be easily fixed. This piece was created because of her interest in humanitarian issues as well as her own personal convictions of wanting to help people. In the future Kaur hopes to further push people to get more involved in politics and in their community to help, and she sees this essay as a starting point.
