My Take
Masih Alinejad moves me more than almost anyone in this batch. Born in a rural village in Iran's Mazandaran Province, she became a journalist and activist who refuses to fall silent, working at Voice of America and Radio Farda and leading global campaigns against compulsory veiling. To keep speaking out from exile, knowing the dangers involved, demands extraordinary courage. She fights an enormous system armed only with words and conviction. To me, this Virgo who traded safety for principle represents the kind of person who keeps the world moving forward. I find her resolve humbling and absolutely worth honoring.
