The 46th Annual Event at San Jose State University was a night filled with inspiration and motivation, as it celebrated the achievements of two extraordinary individuals – “Empowermenteur” Angela Rye and Instagram star Sean the Science Kid. The event, which was held on Friday, April 26th, was a testament to the power of perseverance, determination, and empowerment.
The star-studded event drew in a diverse audience, ranging from students to community leaders, all eager to hear from the two dynamic speakers. Angela Rye, a renowned political commentator and social justice advocate, has been making waves in the media with her powerful messages and unwavering passion for change. On the other hand, Sean the Science Kid, also known as Sean Malone, has been using his platform on Instagram to educate and inspire young minds with his fun and informative science experiments.
With the theme of the event being “Empowerment and Education,” both speakers shared their personal journeys and the obstacles they had to overcome to reach their current positions. Angela Rye spoke about her upbringing in a humble neighborhood in Seattle, where she witnessed firsthand the injustices faced by people of color. She shared how these experiences fueled her passion for social justice and led her to become one of the most influential voices in the political sphere today.
Sean the Science Kid, on the other hand, shared his love for science and how it helped him overcome the challenges of growing up in a low-income household. He emphasized the importance of education and how it can be a powerful tool for change and empowerment. His interactive demonstrations had the audience on the edge of their seats, engaged and eager to learn more.
But the highlight of the event was when both speakers came together for a panel discussion moderated by San Jose State University’s very own, Dr. Melissa Martinez. The session focused on the importance of empowering the younger generation, especially in underprivileged communities, and how education and self-belief can break societal barriers.
Angela Rye, who is known for her fiery and unapologetic personality, did not hold back when discussing the current political climate and the importance of fighting for what is right. She encouraged the audience to use their voices and to never be afraid to speak up for what they believe in. “We have the power to create change, but we need to have the courage to use it,” Rye said.
Sean the Science Kid also had a powerful message for the audience, highlighting the need to break societal norms and stereotypes. “I was told that science was not for someone like me, but I refused to believe that. I want to show young kids that anyone can be a scientist, no matter their background,” he said.
The event was not only a celebration of the achievements of two exceptional individuals, but it also served as a reminder to never give up on one’s dreams and to use one’s voice for good. Both Angela Rye and Sean the Science Kid are shining examples of the power of empowerment and education.
The event also featured performances by the San Jose State University Mariachi Azlan and the San Jose State University Dance Team, showcasing the diversity and talent on campus.
The 46th Annual Event at San Jose State University was an evening that will be remembered for years to come. It not only brought together a diverse community, but it also inspired and motivated everyone present to make a difference in their own way. As Angela Rye said, “We are all empowermenteurs, and together, we can create a better world.”
