Words from a Wise Man: Great Leaders Grow
Yes, I know this blog is usually about great women leaders (not men). The world has seen and heard from a lot of great male leaders already.

Right now there is a girl who lives on the other side of the ocean who does not have any idea that you exist. Until you started reading this, you might not have thought about her either…but she is there. She doesn’t know what life is like outside of her village.
