A friend of mine said I would be a good activist. But I didn't want to seem like an idiot so I didn't ask her what it ment but what is an activist? Is it a career I googled it but I couldn't get a grip of what it means? Could you give an example?

Thanks, Love.... :)

An activist is someone who publicly speaks out about the status quo and puts into action steps to solve the problem.
