Zora Ilunga-Reed is a 17-year-old high school senior at the Nightingale-Bamford School in New York City. When she's not writing wordy poems in lieu of doing her calculus homework, she can be found debating with her school's public forum team, working on her political podcast, We the Ppl, or running and swimming for Nightingale's varsity teams.
She will attend Stanford University in the Fall of 2018.
