An astonishing number of so-called leaders demonstrate remarkable levels of greed and poor judgment. So my heart is lifted by young people who improve our world. I’ll name just three who inspire me: Pakistani activist MalalaYousafzai (education advocate), Swedish activist Greta Thunberg (climate action), and Northfield resident Caledonia McKeon, who uses her artistic skills to raise money for those who need and deserve support. Three of our world’s true leaders, showing the way — let’s please listen, and follow them.
