I have lived in Washington, D.C. for seven months now. During that time, I marched with current and soon-to-be feminist icons, explored the city with new friends, said good morning to my role model each day and witnessed history being made right outside my door.

Living in Washington, D.C. has been a unique experience for me. The city is centered around politics and filled with people who want to make a difference not only for the United States, but for the world.
