At a young age, Sydney Gutierrez was discouraged by her grandfather from going to school. But with assistance from her mom and grandmother, she helped change his mind. “In my community, there has always been a sense of machismo,” says the Oaxaca, Mexico native, who speaks Spanish and Mixe, an indigenous language of Southern Mexico. “Girls are told that their place is in the kitchen, not at school. But I don’t want that for myself or other girls.” Now in her second year of high school, and with a scholarship from Fondo Guadalupe Musalem, an organization that supports leadership training and education for indigenous girls in Mexico, Sydney has made it her mission to advocate for education for all (with support from Malala Yousafzai, who also nominated Sydney to be part of this list). She has spoken on a local radio show, The Voice of Women, about the importance of female participation in her town and hopes to one day be her town’s pediatrician. “I don’t expect to change the world,” she says, “but I want to change little things so that the women in my community will be happier. I contribute with my grain of sand.” ?: @ysaperez #21under21
