Priyanka explores the idea that women can break away from the institutionalized sexism against them an forge a new path of equality. She argues that no one should settle with discrimination against them, but push the boundaries to move to a more accepting society.
Priyanka Vatturi is a senior at James Logan High School in Union City, California. Most of her time is taken up by school work and studying, but in her free time she is an avid musician and fitness junkie. In JLHS she serves as varsity members in cross country, track and field, and speech and debate. Priyanka wants to use the tools she has gained throughout her years as a student to challenge to sociological boundaries placed in front of her. Along with supporting many social issues, she feels very strongly about sexism towards women, as she has first hand experience with this issue. She knows the limitations that are involved in changing this and wants to be a youth ambassador for gender equality. Through her talk she wants to inspire those to challenge their own boundaries and limitations; because together we are an unmatchable force. She hopes that, using this event as an outlet, she will be able to spark change and conversation on a national and global scale.
