Tiana Day, 20

She/Her

Tiana Day for Canva Design Stories

Student activist Tiana Day had never led a march or protest, but a chance encounter with a fellow student on social media changed her world forever. A poster she created in Canva and shared on social media drew more than 50,000 people to join a peaceful protest across San Francisco’s Golden Gate Bridge in 2020. Tiana said the moment “lit a fire” within her and sparked her passion for activism. As a result, she founded her non-profit organization, Youth Advocates For Change, which champions youth-led causes. Watch Tiana’s empowering story and see how Canva has become an essential tool in the non-profit’s daily operations.
