We are honored to announce Angelina Te as an Honorary Ambassador of our INSPIRE YOUTH JOURNAL – A Global Platform for Youth Journalism!

Angelina Te (she/her) is a 17-year-old high school junior from Long Beach, California, and a passionate advocate for educational equity. She is the founder of Golden Student Bears, a youth-led organization working to close the opportunity gap by sharing college and career resources through a digital magazine and social media. Under her leadership, the organization has reached thousands of students nationwide and gone viral for its accessible, student-focused content.

A lifelong writer, Angelina began journaling at age six and has since published her debut poetry collection, Raw Poems From a Teenage Girl, which explores themes of identity, healing, and adolescence. Her forthcoming memoir reflects on her experiences growing up Cambodian-American in a low-income household, and she is also developing several young adult fiction projects.

Angelina plans to pursue a career in child psychology or counseling to support the mental health and growth of young people navigating complex life transitions.

Congratulations! We are so proud of her.
