The Power of No One

In this modern culture, we too often align societal change with spokespeople and advocates who are famous or wealthy. Is it possible that “regular people” can create change in our fame-focused world? Absolutely. I once heard this story about a washed-up old pro athlete whose manager called her a “no one.” A couple years later, she and her friends made history when they lobbied the Tour de France to include women. The power to change the world is in no one’s hands but our own.
