As a young person of Cardiff west I have come face to face with the issues affecting the youth of our area which motivates me to run for my constituency. My school has provided me with opportunities such as Digon to advocate for the LGBTQ community, Balch, the anti racism group and Newid Fem, the feminist group. In all of these vital Platforms we have discussed a young persons role within equality and changing the future as well as addressing pressing issues effecting the school environment. If I am elected I will utilize social media to reach out to others and relay the voices of my area to the Senedd.

I simply care, I care about fairness and equality of opportunity. No young person should go without their voice being heard, because ultimately we all have something to say but some are just louder than others, it is my role as a more confident individual, to elevate those lesser heard voices.

Fel person ifanc Gorllewin Caerdydd, rwyf wedi dod wyneb yn wyneb â'r materion sy'n effeithio ar ieuenctid ein hardal sy'n fy ysgogi i redeg ar gyfer fy etholaeth. Mae fy ysgol wedi rhoi cyfleoedd i mi fel Digon i eirioli dros y gymuned LGBTQ, Balch, y grŵp gwrth-hiliaeth a Newid Fem, y grŵp ffeministaidd. Ym mhob un o'r Llwyfannau hanfodol hyn rydym wedi trafod rôl pobl ifanc o fewn cydraddoldeb a newid y dyfodol yn ogystal â mynd i'r afael â materion dybryd sy'n effeithio ar amgylchedd yr ysgol. Os caf fy ethol, byddaf yn defnyddio'r cyfryngau cymdeithasol i estyn allan at eraill a throsglwyddo lleisiau fy ardal i'r Senedd. Rwy'n poeni'n syml, rwy'n poeni am degwch a chyfle cyfartal. Ni ddylai unrhyw berson ifanc fynd heb i'w lais gael ei glywed, oherwydd yn y pen draw, mae gennym ni i gyd rywbeth i'w ddweud ond mae rhai yn uwch nag eraill, fy rôl i fel unigolyn mwy hyderus, yw dyrchafu'r lleisiau llai cyfarwydd hynny.
