Activists on Activists connects current students with local (NY State) social change agents for the opportunity to bring dialogue around continued action and advocacy post-undergraduate experience.

 

Jewel Cadet (She/Her/Hers) is one of the NYC Chapter Co-Chairs of Black Youth Project 100 (BYP100) and the Program Manager of Youth and Community Empowerment for the Center for Anti-Violence Education (CAE). She is a Self-Defense Instructor, Advocator, Educator, Comrade and Community Member within the LGBQIA-TGNC community. 

As a survivor of Same-Sex Intimate Partner Violence, Jewel has always been passionate about the right for marginalized people to navigate this world free from violence.  Hailing from Brooklyn, East New York, with Haitian blood through her veins, Jewel is deeply rooted in the concerns of the rights and freedoms of black girls, femmes, and trans & cis women.  Jewel boldly claims all of her intersecting identities as she fights for her ultimate freedom and the freedom of those around her. Brave, Bold, Unapologetic, and Vibrant, Jewel is on a mission to get free and dismantle norms that perpetuate oppression.
