While at the University of Belize, Abbie focused on her activism and volunteerism that took her to El Salvador, Germany, and Kazakhstan. At this time, she observed and addressed complex social, environmental, and political issues. Since moving to Oxford as a Rhodes Scholar, her focus is on the intersection of police violence and youth mobilization in Belize and Nigeria, which derives from her intrigue for engaging in the intersections of culture and activism. Abbie founded Yellow Bee, an NGO based in Belize, to innovatively address issues of gender, climate, and health. She is also passionate about youth mentorship as she believes youth should be foregrounded in issues that affect them through encouraging free and open dialogue. As a member of St Antony’s College, Abbie is also a part of a global community of scholars engaged in diplomacy, area studies, and the humanities.
