Little Miss Flint
Mari Copeny, also known as Little Miss Flint, and her cousin, Felicia Copeny, did not let the water crisis in Flint, Michigan bog them down. Felicia, a 27-year-old mother of three children and Mari’s cousin, launched a GoFundMe page called “Help Flint Kids See Black Panther.” The goal was to send 1,000 children to the theatre to see the film, Black Panther. The page was created on January 24 with a goal of $5,000. Some of the funds raised were said to be gifted to “nonprofit Pack Your Back to go towards Summer and Back to School programming for Flint kids.” Little Miss Flint has since become a celebrated young activist whose desire is to make the world a better place.
