" My parents' professional path has inspired me on two fronts. First, to fight for true material justice; second, do it with all my heart. This program will allow me to continue my parents' legacy, based on kindess and empathy. The skills that this program will give me will better prepare me to face the challenges that come with the creation, management and monitoring of social impact projects. "

About the Millennium Fellow
Angie Garzón is a 21 year old double programme student. She is enrolled with law school while persuing a political science major in Colombia, even thought she was born in Ecuador. She became a migrant when she was 17 years old, this forced her to gain social conscience on the migratory flows, and challenges, of the region. During her time in Colombia she commited to various social causes. She wants to continue to fight for guaranteeing access to legal education and the right of women to live a life free of violence. Her dream is to be able to dedicate her life to academia, eventually persuing a PhD in social studies and continue exploring art as a political ressistance expression. Her major inspirations are her mom and dad, them she always carry in all her dreams.
