Introducing our January/February cover star, Maxwell Frost (@MaxwellFrostFL)! The 25-year-old made history as the first member of Gen Z — and the first Afro-Cuban — elected to Congress. While he's keenly aware that people associate youth with inexperience, he says his age and uniquely American experience make him the right representation at this time. At the link in bio, #MaxwellFrost chats with Teen Vogue on how he plans to reshape what it means to be a representative of the people.
