" I am passionate about women's rights and driven to empower young girls to accomplish more. I believe that so many young people don't have the platform to accomplish all that they have the potential for because of inaccessibility to the right resources and I want to change that. Becoming a Millennium Fellow will provide me with the opportunity to broaden my social impact and work with equally passionate and driven Fellows. "
Millennium Fellowship Project: Drop
Drop is a period tracking application that is also a point of entry and a community. The point of Drop is to allow women to have control of their period tracking data but also to allow them to have a community where they can discuss their reproductive issues with each other and a platform for them to learn about period poverty and provide their donations to help the girls suffering with this plight.
