Malala Yousafzai
Malala Yousafzai is a global activist and co-founder of Malala Fund, an organization working towards a world where every girl can learn and lead. At age 11, Malala began speaking out for girls’ education when she anonymously blogged for the BBC about life under the Taliban in Pakistan’s Swat Valley. Inspired by her father’s activism, Malala soon began advocating publicly for girls’ education, attracting international media attention and awards. Malala is a recent graduate of Oxford University with a degree in Philosophy, Politics, and Economics, and continues to advocate for every girl’s right to go to school.

Blake Leeper
Born without legs from a congenital birth defect, Leeper did not start racing until 2010. It was at his first ever race in Edmond, Oklahoma that he caught the attention of the Associate Director of High Performance for U.S. Paralympics Track and Field, who convinced his parents to let their son move into the Olympic Training Center in Chula Vista, California, where he started his habit of winning. That’s when Leeper left the University of Tennessee to embark on a journey that no one could envision for a kid from Tennessee born without legs.

Orion Jean
Named TIME’s Kid of the Year 2021 and the Ambassador for Kindness for organizing campaigns focused on doing good deeds for others, Orion Jean is taking the world by storm. He is the founder of the Race to Kindness Initiative. In 2020, Jean won a student kindness contest where he displayed his own campaign of compassion. “Kindness is a virtue we can all possess. If we are willing to,” he said. “So why not start today? Because right now, it’s what we need more than ever.” With his $500 prize, Jean donated toys to a Dallas Children’s hospital. Next, through food drives and partnering with a relief group, he helped collect 100,000 meals for Texas families.

Michael Crow
Michael M. Crow is an educator, knowledge enterprise architect, science and technology policy scholar and higher education leader. He became the 16th president of Arizona State University in 2002 and has led ASU’s rapid and transformative evolution into one of America’s best public metropolitan research universities. As a model “New American University,” ASU simultaneously demonstrates comprehensive excellence, broad accessibility, and consequential societal impact.
