What's Up Everyone! My name is Selom. I'm a 20 year old college student studying to become a doctor. I am also an activist, so I'm trying to help the world in more ways that one. I came upon this idea when I was in an Organic Chemistry Final Review Session and my professor's WiFi died. It was just me and 80 other students in a Zoom Meeting and we said, "Let's talk about what's going on right now in the world." It was powerful. I realized that this is what I can do to help the community. I'm going to use my voice for those who can't and we will all learn something along the way. Join me. I can't wait to see where this takes us. Welcome to Straight Talk!
