Unlearning the System and the Real Lessons School Missed
About this podcast
Hi! We are Jenica and Maya - two teens that talk a lot about youth culture and wellness (emphasis on “talk a lot”). We represent the podcast, “Our Generation”. The pressures of modern society stigmatize the ability for teenagers to openly speak about undiscussed topics that occur regularly. Our mission is to change that. From two young adults to the rest of the world, our goal is to both educate and empower our generation. We are excited to share our perspectives, journeys, and relatable experiences with you.
Join us biweekly!
Love,
Maya and Jenica
