Hello! I’m Adèle Giovanniello a 18-year old high school student, who just want to share and explore social issues, topics, or communities that often go unnoticed, while having as much fun as possible talking to friends!
For my season finale, I will be addressing (alone) my opinions on the events that unfolded Jan. 6. I just remembered I never acknowledged nor congratulated the historic wins in Georgia, so my best goes to you both. Please, if you are conservative and this title upsets you, I urge you to make it through this episode. The events from Wednesday call us all to start listening where we get our views from, I ask you take the time out of your day to hear mine. Here are the links that I discussed in my episode: allsides.org for looking at political bias and https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2019/10/george-conway-trump-unfit-office/599128/ to see the psychology behind Trump’s behavior.
Active feminist, club president of our local high school’s Amnesty International chapter, and close friend Harshitaa Arunkumar and I discuss feminism and many common misconceptions that follow the movement.

What’s it like to move from NY to CA for high school? How was Sarina 12 freshman year? Why would my playground area get set on fire in elementary school?

What are the differences between Catholicism and Protestantism? Is it ok that Gen-Z is more spiritual than religious? Why wasn’t Terrence in any of the back to school photos?
