'I’m not just a student voice. I’m not the student board member,” said Triston Ezidore, a member of the Culver City Unified School District Board of Education. “I’m a board member that just happens to be 19.”

running for and winning office, Ezidore has dealt with angry comments from residents, disparaging him for his age and, at times, his race.

Just four months into his term on the school board, Ezidore views the negative comments as part of a larger effort to discredit young people who take that leap into elected office. On the first and fourth Tuesday of the month, Ezidore trades in his hoodie for a white button-down and a suit. He puts away his textbooks and packs binders detailing the agenda, talking points and documents for the evening board meetings, where he serves as clerk.

At a certain point, he said, he realized that if he wanted to serve on the school board he had to move back home. So he transferred to USC and launched his campaign in May 2022. He earned endorsements from four of the five board members, including Kelly Kent, who encouraged him to run.
