We may someday see Amariyanna My’Angel “Mari” Copeny sitting in the Oval Office. Although she has 20 years to go before she’s eligible for the 2044 race, reaching the White House is one of the many goals this 17-year-old has already considered. If her past achievements are any indication, this inspiring young woman — affectionately known as “Little Miss Flint” — will very likely get there. In just 10 years, Mari has gone from an anonymous child in Michigan to an internationally renowned climate activist who’s spent time with U.S. presidents, made global headlines, and become a valued participant in the United Nations — and it all started with a bubble bath. One evening in 2014, Mari’s mother, Loui, noticed something very wrong with the water she was using to bathe her three children at the family’s home in Flint. Loui told Teen Vogue, “[It] didn’t have a specific color at first, but the smell was off. The water would almost burn your skin and your eyes, and it got worse when they started dumping chemicals into it to try to fix the damage that was already done to the pipes.” Mari immediately took action, making a video that put a human face to the water crisis affecting her city. A now-famous screencap of the recording — featuring the stern-faced girl holding a sign reading, “Flint, MI has been without clean water since April 24, 2014” — became a viral sensation. She also gained exposure by penning an open letter to President Barack Obama in the Los Angeles Times urging him to visit Flint and experience the emergency for himself — prompting his approval of $100 million in federal aid.
