I've started taking part in feminist activism in an institutional context as an undergraduate student at Bilkent University's Women's Studies Society.

I was born in 2001, studying American Culture and Literature at Hacettepe University. I've been engaged in activism, particularly on LGBTIQA+ and women's rights. As part of this activism, I translate queer, feminist and vegan cartoons and articles on these activisms from English to Turkish.
