Can you tell us more about your work over the past two years and the organizations that you\u2019ve started? <\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"article-blurb\">After growing a platform and gaining first-hand experience lobbying on Capitol Hill for birth control access after a viral encounter with my Senator, I returned home ready to make a lasting change for my community no matter who was in office. That\u2019s why, in my senior year of high school, I helped to found the El Rio Reproductive Health Access Project. The El Rio RHAP was founded by young people, like me, who truly represent who we aimed to serve: homeless youth, formerly incarcerated young people, teen moms, and those who have endured a variety of other lived experiences. We have acted as peer sex educators and run free teen clinics, where teens in our community can come and consult with us and walk away with any birth control method that is right for them, at absolutely no cost. The program is still going strong and has expanded since I moved to New York. It now serves over 4,000 young people.<\/p>\n<p class=\"article-blurb\">After moving to NYC I translated my experience as a community organizer to the digital space and founded GenZ Girl Gang, which aims to redefine the way we practice sisterhood in the age of infinite connection, while also serving as a bold experiment, pushing the limits of social media platforms like Instagram to build authentic connections and community.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=&#8221;4.5.1&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;||10px|||&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.5.1&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221;][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/rebag.com\/thevault\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/back-to-school-deja-foxx.jpg&#8221; title_text=&#8221;back-to-school-deja-foxx&#8221; align=&#8221;center&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.5.1&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; width=&#8221;91.4%&#8221;][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.5.1&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; text_orientation=&#8221;center&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;-31px|||||&#8221;]<\/p>\n<pre>Courtesy of Teen Vogue<\/pre>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.5.1&#8243; link_font=&#8221;||||on||||&#8221; link_text_color=&#8221;#000000&#8243; max_width=&#8221;750px&#8221; module_alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;||62px|||&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p class=\"article-blurb bolded\"><strong>Soon you will be off to Columbia for your second year of school! What are you studying? What are your goals for this upcoming semester as a student?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"article-blurb\">I\u2019m the first in my family to attend college, and on a full ride to Columbia University, at that. I study Political Science and have made the Dean\u2019s List both semesters I\u2019ve been in attendance. This next semester I plan to keep my grades up and continue to make the Dean\u2019s List as well as explore classes in our Race and Ethnicities Studies Department.<\/p>\n<p class=\"article-blurb bolded\"><strong>Are there any projects that you\u2019re looking forward to in the new school year when it comes to your causes? What are you most involved in?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"article-blurb\">As I return to school, I look forward to serving as Community Coordinator to the upLIFT House, Columbia\u2019s very first Special Interest Community for First-Generation and Low-Income Students. My friends and I organized toward its creation last year and to continue to lead it as it comes to life is something I am really looking forward to. As for GenZ Girl Gang, we got our start in April of 2019, and we still have so much growing to do. This year, our team is focusing on expanding our reach and exploring options for a chapter network.<\/p>\n<p class=\"article-blurb bolded\"><strong>How do you balance school and your personal life, all while being an activist, organizer, and overall influencer?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"article-blurb\">All of the aspects of my life: personal, professional, and academic intertwine, so it\u2019s hard to separate where my work on one project stops and the work on another starts. That being said, my biggest learning of my first year alone in NYC was that my relationship with myself is the foundation on which all the other aspects of my life are built, and that investing in myself isn\u2019t selfish, it\u2019s a part of doing the work responsibly. I\u2019ve learned to build self-care into my day by journaling when I wake up and before I go to sleep. I also practice practical self-care by diligently tracking my schedule in my planner and being honest with myself and others about when I\u2019m just too busy.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=&#8221;4.5.1&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.5.1&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221;][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/rebag.com\/thevault\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/back-school-deja-foxx-2.jpeg&#8221; title_text=&#8221;back-school-deja-foxx-2&#8243; align=&#8221;center&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.5.1&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; width=&#8221;91.4%&#8221;][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.5.1&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; text_orientation=&#8221;center&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;-31px|||||&#8221;]<\/p>\n<pre>Courtesy of <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/rebag.com\/magazine\/back-school-deja-foxx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Deja Foxx via Instagram<\/a><\/span><\/pre>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.5.1&#8243; link_font=&#8221;||||on||||&#8221; link_text_color=&#8221;#000000&#8243; max_width=&#8221;750px&#8221; module_alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;||62px|||&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p class=\"article-blurb bolded\"><strong>All colleges and universities have a style set to them. How would you describe the Columbia University style? How does it compare to your own?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"article-blurb\">When I first got to Columbia, I was stunned. This was my first time seeing wealth at this scale. Attendance at Columbia costs nearly $80,000 a year (reminder: I\u2019m on a full-ride) and only one in two students are receiving financial aid. That being said, the style at Columbia can feel very designer and hard to keep up with as a first-generation and low-income student. But, I\u2019ve come to embrace where our styles and access differ. I still wear acrylic nails, big hoops, and jeans from the thrift store just like I did back home and in some ways bringing that style into my classrooms is kind of like bringing my community with me.<\/p>\n<p class=\"article-blurb bolded\"><strong>How much of a handbag lover are you? Do you keep up with the trends, or just invest in a few classics that are best for your lifestyle?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"article-blurb\">I love a handbag as a statement piece, but I don\u2019t personally keep up with trends.<\/p>\n<p class=\"article-blurb bolded\"><strong>What bag trends do you most look forward to in the Fall season?

Often, I go from a class to a work meeting, to an event, and need a bag that\u2019s big enough (and stylish enough) to fit all occasions. In it, you\u2019ll always find my phone with a portable charger, my laptop to do work on the go, a water bottle, snacks, and of course, my planner. Rolling around on the bottom there\u2019s usually eyelash glue, a rollerball perfume, and a lip gloss so I can freshen up my look.<\/p>\n<p class=\"article-blurb bolded\"><strong>When it comes to your personal style or shopping habits, what\u2019s your take on resale? How do you think the fashion resale industry is positively affecting both corporations and consumers?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"article-blurb\">I love resale! My friends and I are far from rich, though we occupy very wealthy spaces, and I see resale as a way of increasing accessible to the world of fashion that we are all too often excluded from. My entire career in advocacy has centered on choice and accessibility and I think similar values exist in the concept of resale.<\/p>\n<p class=\"article-blurb bolded\"><strong>What are your plans after graduation?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"article-blurb\">Soon after graduation, I plan to return home to Tucson, AZ and run for office. I\u2019ve worked from the outside trying to push representatives to listen to their constituents and I know first hand the difference it makes when you have the right people in office. But more than that, I want to take up space and bring my experiences and identities, which are largely underrepresented in the United States government, to the forefront not just for me, but for all of the people who share them and have yet to see themselves in power.<\/p>\n<p class=\"article-blurb bolded\"><strong>As a self-proclaimed future POTUS, what inspires you to work toward this goal?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"article-blurb\">I\u2019m no stranger to being the first. From being a first-generation American to the first of my family to go to college, even to the first to speak up when I see injustice, I\u2019ve gotten quite a few firsts under my belt and I\u2019ve got a lot more ahead of me. They say you can\u2019t be what you can\u2019t see and though I\u2019ve never seen a POTUS like me, I\u2019m inspired by the challenge of being the first and, if nothing else, I hope that by declaring my ambition, which may seem impossible to some, it empowers other people to dream their dreams out loud.<\/p>\n<p class=\"article-blurb bolded\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px;
