Dr. Mona helped Flint understand what was truly happening in their community. She made the local as well as national media pay attention to Flint and what its people were experiencing. In my high school, there was a group of boys that had a group chat that was terribly racist and rude. Several of the girls in my friend group had crushes on some of the guys in the chat and after explaining to them that the things they were saying about classmates was wrong and unethical, they stopped putting boys like that on a pedestal in their minds. Everyone should want to make the world better and safer, but there are still many things you can do to by yourself to make an impact. One of the biggest things would be staying informed and unbiased and using your voice to share that with others. By eliminating the grey area of information that leads to wildly different stories, people can stay informed and knowledgeable about what is happening.
