As a United Nations Messenger of Peace, Goodall travels the globe advocating on behalf of animal and environmental protection. Since having founded the Jane Goodall Institute in 1977, Goodall has established a number of community-based development projects throughout Africa.
Through her work with Rise Up and the Girls Empowerment Network of Malawi, Memory Banda leads the campaign to end child marriage in Malawi, where more than half of girls are married by age 18. Banda's TED Talk, "A Warrior's Cry Against Child Marriage," has garnered more than 1.1 million views, and her advocacy has led to major changes in Malawi's legislation.
In an effort to overcome her fear of public speaking, YouTube star Ingrid Nilsen began her career in 2009. Since then, Nilsen has gained more than 4 million subscribers, became a spokesperson for CoverGirl and interviewed President Barack Obama via livestream. Since coming out via her YouTube channel, Nilsen has become an advocate for LGBTQ rights and gender equality, and has been named a YouTube Change Ambassador.
