Calling All Cats - How Fatiha Washington Navigates Through A World of Misogyny

Ishya is a student at Baruch College Campus High School in the Flatiron District of Manhattan. She is an active member of her school’s track club, ASL club, Black & Latino Student Union, and debate team! When Ishya isn’t talking on the phone with her friends, she finds herself reading or learning new songs on her ukulele.
