@cylciaaa: the perception of young people in politics is often that we have no life outside of it, and I’ve admittedly been a little nervous to post this - since as a 21 year old councillor I certainly feel a pressure to present as ‘serious’ (whatever that means 😂) However, the reality is that, as young people passionate about effecting change, we don’t have to pick between having a fulfilling social life and taking up leadership positions! I don’t think it should be controversial to show up authentically as a young person, whilst also sharing my professional growth and journey. I hope this inspires some of you that you can, in fact, do both and do them both well ❤️ #womeninpolitics #youthempowerment #inspiration #politics #localgovernment
