Inspiring! Sometimes we might lose sight of the power that we each have within ourselves. The power to lead fulfilling lives for ourselves and to positively impact the world around us. The youngest winner of the Nobel Peace Prize and a unrelenting champion for girls’ education globally, Malala Yousafzai @Malala serves as a bold reminder of our own strength and of what fierce compassion can do to improve our own lives and the lives of those around us.

The legendary Cuban salsa singer Celia Cruz made famous the phrase ¡Azucar! which served as her battle cry!

Before you can help, you have to understand.
