About

The Mission
(Ideally) updated weekly, Why The F*** Should I Care is a website devoted to keeping Americans informed on international affairs and explaining how these events will affect Americans themselves. Founded in the fall of 2012, WTFSIC aims to reverse the sad reality that Americans can be self centered and completely unaware of what’s happening abroad.

Manavis competed on her high school speech and debate team, finaling at major tournaments across the state of Ohio and, her senior year, acting as president of her high school’s team. In 2010, she partnered with New Moon Magazine to create the “Sister to Sister Mentor Program” where high-school aged girls provided advice to younger girls online who couldn’t find help in their own communities. In the spring of 2012, Manavis worked as a speechwriter for the Jodi Billerman for Butler County Commissioner Campaign. That spring she also received the John Martin Forensic Scholarship, a scholarship awarded to an outstanding senior on the Oakwood High School National Forensic League Team. During the summer of 2012, Manavis worked as a full-time intern for the Montgomery County Transportation Improvement District, a governmental organization that uses road improvement to economically develop different areas. At the Montgomery County TID, she worked on presentations to government boards around Montgomery County, created lengthy descriptions about past projects, as well as administrative work. Now, Manavis is getting her Master’s Degree at the University of Edinburgh (in Scotland) in Linguistics & English Language, a top ten program in the world for her field.
