FAQ

  • I’ve always had a storing interest in social justice and what’s happening in the world around me. At the same time, I’ve always loved to write - it;s how i process, express, and connect. I realized that combining both passions could create something more powerful: a blog where I can share my thoughts, speak up about important issues, and help others learn and grow. I also knew i wanted to create something that united young and older teens to share and express their thoughts.

  • My goal for Grow With Iratxe is to expand beyond what it is today - into a larger platform that inspires, educates, and connects even more people. I envision it becoming a go-to space where not just mental health and social justice are discussed, but where young people form all backgrounds feel empowered to learn, speak up, and take action.

    Through shared knowledge, personal stories, and honest conversations, I hope Grow With Iratxe will continue to grow into a trusted and influential brand that promotes real change and fosters understanding.

    Im also accepting essays from teens around the world to publish and share on my website and socials so more people can hear their voice. I hope that by sharing what they write people can learn and realize that teenagers do know stuff and SHOULD be heard too.

  • I hope that Grow With Iratxe one day becomes truly accessible - a space where people from low-income communities, third-world countries, and all walks of life can find support, inspiration, and knowledge. I don’t want my message to only reach those with devices or internet.

    My dream is for my words, experiences, and voice to be shared with everyone - not just a lucky fe, but millions of people who deserve to feel seen, heard, and empowered. One day, I hope this platform reaches every corner of the world.
