	Description:		This week we bring you a special episode from Aprile Kim, one of our 2024 Podcast Fellows. Aprile Kim is a third year student at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor pursuing a double major in Political Science and Philosophy and a double minor in Japanese and International Studies, with a thematic focus on International Security, Norms, and Cooperation. She is the proud daughter of first-generation Korean immigrants to the unincorporated U.S. territory of Guam, from which her roots have instilled in her a strong passion and demands for American politics and its implications for democracy - or rather the version it attempts to function as today. What particularly draws her to the work ofThe Democracy Group is the organization's ability to give voices to marginalized communities, and she intends on leveraging this fellowship opportunity to exemplify the shortcomings of democracy in U.S. territories as her home island of Guam, breaches in the fundamental concept of the democratic system that are hidden away from the eyes of national politics under the guise of colonialism.
