Sehinne Yohannes is a high school junior of San Leandro’s Social Justice Academy, and a passionate advocate for ethnic studies, equity, and youth activism. She is a 2025 finalist in both the Youth Speaks Poetry Slam and the Oakland Youth Poet Laureate Program. Sehinne also serves as the anti-corporate extraction lead for the Youth vs. Apocalypse No One is Disposable Committee. She writes about revolution, resilience, and her love for her communities, and she hopes to inspire Bay Area youth as her favorite local poets once inspired her!
