Luis Miguel Varona

Growing up in a developing country, I saw environmental and socioeconomic injustice all around me on a daily basis. This immersion in unsustainable development during my formative years inspired me to advocate for civic and social change on a global scale. In February 2021, I cofounded the nonprofit organization Brave Minds to combat the stigma surrounding neurodiversity (which I myself have faced). I also engage in social entrepreneurship at Fly High, the Good Intentions Foundation, and AYO Philippines.
