BIOGRAPHY

Felicity Wong, admitted to Harvard College Class of 2029, is committed to using art as a tool for advocacy, empathy, and social change. Her journey began with Project Reverie, a portrait initiative honoring survivors of domestic abuse. Through crafted portraits, Project Reverie reshapes stories of trauma into tributes of resilience, dignity, and inner strength. This project marked the beginning of Felicity’s commitment to using art to confront silence and empower voices that often go unheard.

 

Building on this foundation, Felicity went on to create Art Beyond Borders, an inclusive art education program for over 80 immigrant and refugee children. Recognized with the “Best Community Service” award by New England’s Parent Independent Network, Art Beyond Borders embodies her vision of breaking down barriers to creative expression and providing young artists a sanctuary for self-exploration and growth.

 

As Editor of The F-word, Milton Academy’s feminist magazine, Felicity continues to drive initiatives that unite art and social justice. Her fundraiser for Rosie’s Place, a respected women’s shelter, featured designs like the “Heavy Women” sweatshirt, celebrating women’s strength and complexity. This project raised critical funds for women in need.

 

Felicity is also the President of Art with a Social Conscience, a club focused on fundraising through creative work. One of her projects involved the “dancing skeletons” tote bags, a design that resonated across her school community. These sales raised over $3,000 for Doctors Without Borders, with funds directed to essential hygiene supplies for women in Gaza.

 

Across each of these initiatives, Felicity is dedicated to building spaces where art intersects with empathy, advocacy, and action. Her work is driven by a belief in art’s power to amplify voices and create lasting impact. Each project she undertakes is a step toward a world where art acts not just as an expression but as a force for equity, understanding, and transformative change.
