My name is Brooklyn Manga, and I’m a writer, youth mentor, and lifelong learner. I hold a bachelor’s degree in English Literature and History, and I’m currently pursuing a degree in Paralegal Studies along with a certificate in Business Management. My ultimate goal is to start my own small business focused on working with kids—a passion that has guided much of my academic, creative, and volunteer work. I’ve written for platforms like Her Campus and Sex, Etc., covering topics ranging from social media activism to self-care and body positivity. I’ve also worked directly with young people as a Girl Scout troop volunteer and summer camp counselor, where I’ve seen firsthand what kids care about, how they express themselves, and how much they benefit from supportive, empowering spaces. These experiences continually shape both my writing and my vision for the future. At the heart of everything I do is a deep commitment to helping young people feel seen, heard, and inspired. Whether I’m writing, mentoring, or planning for my future business, I’m always looking for ways to connect, uplift, and create meaningful change in the lives of the next generation.
