My sophomore year of high school, I was assigned to read Bryan Stevenson’s Just Mercy. Inspired by the book and Stevenson’s non-profit, The Equal Justice Initiative, I began to think how I could contribute to his mission. So for all of July 2020, I baked my favorite chocolate chip cookies and delivered them to people’s doorsteps. Thanks to many many friends and families purchases, I baked over 600 cookies and donated $2,818.65 to Stevenson’s incredible life’s work.
