I am Briella Malaika. I believe every single child deserves to feel safe, happy, and valued wherever they are. I have seen how mean words or leaving someone out can make their light go dim, and I know none of us should ever feel afraid or alone at school.

My campaign is called Be Kind, Shine Bright – Anti-Bullying. It is all about choosing respect and care for everyone we meet. I truly think that even the smallest acts matter: speaking gently, helping someone who looks lost or sad, and treating others exactly the way we would like to be treated ourselves.

I want to ask all my friends and schoolmates to stand with me against bullying. Let us always use kind words, lend kind hands, and carry kind hearts. When we lift each other up instead of pushing each other down, every one of us can shine bright together at Twinbrook.
