About Karollyny

To combat misinformation and polarization, Karollyny co-founded Jovem pra Política, which demystifies politics and shows how it affects the lives of young people

Karollyny is from Rio de Janeiro and discovered her passion for leadership in high school, where she served as class representative for two years. After witnessing growing political polarization and misinformation following the pandemic, she was driven to make politics more accessible to young people.

Alongside her twin sister, she created an Instagram project that explains political concepts in a simple, relatable way. Karollyny writes and edits the content, while her sister handles the recordings.Together, they’ve empowered students with knowledge many previously lacked. Looking ahead, Karollyny hopes to expand the project to more schools, encouraging civic engagement and social action among youth. T

he journey has taught her to lead with courage and to inspire others to believe in their ability to create change.
