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

By Ishya Washington

Teenage girls Ishya and her sister Fatiha are certainly not new to catcalling. But what goes through a girl's mind when some random guy on the street refuses to give up?

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.
