Indivisible Beaufort will host a talk by student leaders from DAYLO (Diversity Awareness Youth Literary Association) at their Saturday, July 29 meeting at 11 a.m. at the Beaufort County Library at 311 Scott Street in Beaufort.
DAYLO is a Beaufort-based student-led book club with chapters in several local schools. In addition to discussing books with diverse themes and perspectives, DAYLO also engages in empathy-building community literacy initiatives through public read-a-louds, book drives for teachers, and support for the Beaufort Human Library Project.
The featured speakers will be Millie Bennett (Beaufort High School ’23), Izzy Troy Brazoban (Battery Creek High School ’23) and Lizzie Foster (Beaufort Academy’ 23).
Bennett will begin her studies at the College of Charleston this fall, majoring in studio arts and double-minoring in women’s and gender studies and creative writing.
Brazoban is headed to Georgia Southern University, where she is majoring in philosophy on a pre-law track. This summer she is participating in both of the ACLU’s Summer Advocacy Institutes.
Foster will be attending Georgetown University, where she will study government. She is also participating in one of the ACLU’s Summer Advocacy Institutes.
