My list dances across a range of sectors, but what connects everyone is their passion to use their platform powerfully - speaking up in situations of injustice, lifting others up, being kind+excellent to others+amplifying the voices of those who don't have as big a platform.
Some of the list below I know personally, some I've had the pleasure of working with and others I have on my "would love to meet" list, but all of them motivate me to be better.
