Last month, we kicked off our Bold in Action series to showcase the commitment to #BigBoldChange among members of our Fellow community. These leaders are forming new pathways to making the world more just, and each Monday, we eagerly anticipate being inspired by their stories. Every week, meet audacious problem solvers like Glenn Martin, Fagan Harris, Marquis Taylor, Kalimah Priforce, Laura Weidman-Powers, and Momo Akade, founder of Gigabryte, who says “I always wanted to transform learning. I always wanted to make sure that kids everywhere had access to the educational opportunities that I would later have. And I actually get to do that now, and I’m actually changing lives because of it.” Stay tuned for more Bold in Action to hear the stories of the next wave of social innovators, and explore the headlines our Fellows are making below.
