She used that personal milestone to reflect on what the late teenager never got the chance to experience.

"I moved from Ghana to the U.S. at 13. I got to celebrate my 14th birthday here and keep growing. Javits deserved to keep growing too," she wrote.

DJ Switch speaks out against bullying

Beyond her personal reflection, DJ Switch used the platform to push back against attitudes that minimise bullying as harmless behaviour among young people. She was firm in her position that children should never be made to feel unsafe simply by going to school.

"No child should have to be brave just to get through a school day," she stated in the post.

She called for a shift in how society addresses bullying, rejecting the notion that it can be written off as ordinary childhood conduct.

Her remarks have added to a broader public conversation around child safety and the circumstances surrounding Javits' death, with several celebrities and public figures also weighing in on the tragedy.
