Lucy Thomas is the chief executive officer and co-founder of PROJECT ROCKIT, an organization empowering youth with the skills to confront bullying, cyberbullying, hate, and prejudice.

By engaging with the program, 83 percent of students reported they feel more confident standing up against bullying, and 91 percent of primary-aged students knew where to find support when experiencing tough times. Today, Lucy is involved in the global Safety Advisory Boards for Meta, Snapchat, Spotify, various government initiatives, and within Australia’s LGBTQ+ community.
