Winter

Founder/Baker

I’m a senior at Palo Alto Senior High School. I pride myself on making my desserts from scratch and with love. I’ve been baking since I was 8 years old and I've always loved it. 

Aside from baking, I am a varsity cheerleader for high school, a gymnastics coach for children, and an avid student focusing on the fields of early childhood development and psychology. 

I was inspired to start this project when I felt called upon to help support the Black Lives Matter movement. As I am considered high-risk for Covid-19, protests are not something I can safely attend in person, so Baking For Justice is my way to contribute. I made a promise to myself that I will continue to educate myself, raise awareness, and always do my best to fight for what’s right. I hope this project is something that reflects that promise. 

​

Aside from baking every cupcake, I also package each one. In addition, I oversee marketing and communication by responding to emails, meeting with local press, and constantly spreading the word about Baking for Justice through social media. 

Sabrina

Operations Manager

I am a senior at Palo Alto High School (sko vikes!), a member of the varsity cheer team, the spirit commissioner on ASB, and part of several clubs including Sources of Strength, Mahjong, and Meditation. 

My interest in social change began when I joined the Social Justice Pathway. This program taught me the importance of creating long-term, sustainable change rather than temporary relief.     

In the future, I hope to major in public policy or business administration to bring social justice to the public and private sector. 

​

As Operations Manager, my main focus is on the behind-the-scenes work. My duties include developing and updating the website, creating a spreadsheet algorithm to calculate finances and quantity of cupcakes, and designing social media posts.

Delivery Driver

I am a senior at Palo Alto High School and a varsity member of the wrestling team. I have been wrestling for over 7 years now and through this experience, have met different people all over the area. As a result of this, I have found a deeper appreciation for my community and the people in it. I am trying to do what I can to help better that group and make it accessible to everyone.  

​

The cause of racial justice is important to me, as it should be for everyone. I am trying to do my part in what way I can. I encourage others to do the same and support what they believe is right in whatever way possible. 

​

Aside from ensuring cupcakes get delivered to each customer in a timely fashion, I also assist with publicity and marketing by informing others about Baking for Justice.
