Yolanda Renee King says she will vote for the first time in an op-ed titled “Yolanda Renee King on Voting for the First Time: ‘The Dream Belongs to Us’” published by Teen Vogue on November 2, 2026, where she urges young readers to take part in the election.
In the Teen Vogue piece, King — identified as the granddaughter of Martin Luther King Jr. and Coretta Scott King — “makes a case to fellow 18-year-olds about the importance of voting in this election,” the article summary states.
King frames voting as part of her family legacy and a generational responsibility; Teen Vogue’s summary describes the op-ed as a call aimed specifically at fellow 18-year-olds about “the importance of voting in this election.”
Her Teen Vogue op-ed appears under the headline that repeats her opening line: “The Dream Belongs to Us,” and the Teen Vogue page lists the piece with a published time of 2026-11-02T13:00:00.000Z.
What King asks of young voters
The Teen Vogue summary says King makes a direct appeal to new voters, urging 18-year-olds to participate; that appeal is the second verified thread of the piece and what the article emphasizes.
The op-ed’s framing links personal history with civic action: Teen Vogue’s description notes King is the granddaughter of civil-rights leaders and uses that context to address peers about voting in the election.
What comes next for readers is practical — Teen Vogue’s page presents King’s piece as an argument to peers rather than a policy prescription, leaving voter-registration steps and campaign positions to other sources.
