What inspires me most are people who imagine and implement solutions to challenges in their own lives, in their communities, in our country and around the world.

I can't imagine anything that would make the world look more different than if women and girls were unequivocally enfranchised.

I am excited to work with NBC News to continue to highlight stories of organizations and individuals who make their communities and our world healthier, more just and more humane.

Celebrate those who have the courage to be second.

Determination gets you a long way.

For most young Americans I know, 'serving' in the broadest sense now seems like the only thing to do.

I have a boyfriend and a dog, and I still haven't figured out what I want to be when I grow up.
