Maryna Poroshenko

Maryna Poroshenko's path from cardiologist to First Lady of Ukraine and then elected councillor is one I keep returning to. Plenty of people would have treated the First Lady role as an endpoint and faded out once their spouse left office. She instead chose the harder, less glamorous route of running for the Kyiv City Council and winning a seat on her own terms. Trained to keep hearts beating, fluent across medicine, broadcasting, politics and even art history, she strikes me as someone driven by service rather than status. That willingness to stay in the arena is what I respect most.
