@julianasRU I agree. Emma's participation in social media goes beyond traditional celebrity activism as she leverages her platform to be a leader for a cause that she is passionate about. Pushing for collective and open participation through her posts is a perfect example of new power.

@juliaschoolacc Hi Julia! I haven't heard of Alix until this post. However, I agree that her participation in social media with a relatable personality reflects her new power values--shying away from traditional authority. She pushes for open communication and discussion in her posts as well.

@IsabellaD889 This is a great example. One of my favorite movies is King Richard so it automatically made me think of that film. Being a leader isn't always about status, its about how you use your position to influence others and what you decide to do with it. Her story is inspiring.

Growing up in poverty, Dwayne Johnson is a celebrity who started at “rock” bottom. With “FOCUS” & “EFFORT,” he established WWE and film superstardom. He leveraged his setbacks as fuel for a major comeback. He leads by motivating others to go beyond a fixed mindset #LIDC92

@emmaganderson0 I used to love watching his videos! He proves that social media isn't just for entertainment; it can make education fun and reach a diverse range of audiences. His "lectures" are not confined to a single classroom; rather, his knowledge is shared around the world.

@mattqtlb This is a great example, especially in today's landscape. Politicians will need to navigate the challenge of ethics and morality when using social media to get their points across. However, it can prove to be effective if their words are backed by action to boost credibility.

@mjl456scar I agree with you. It goes to show how leadership is going to have to evolve to prepare teams for AI-driven change. This scary technology demonstrates how leaders will now navigate the challenge of managing their teams as well as artificial intelligence.

2. Growing up as a Latinx woman of color, she “paints” stories in a creative, imaginative, and illustrative way to advocate for policy changes and solutions. She uses this medium to inspire others to take action in a time of crisis. #LIDC92

@yzhao3020 Hey Kevin! I wasn't sure who this was until I researched, but he defintely falls into the leader category. He knows how to use the social media medium to reach his viewers. His videos are tech-savvy, engaging, informative, & motivational. Great choice!

[Aiden Medina @aidenm310]

@mv_ru25 I would definitely agree. He is a progressive leader who emphasizes his messages through social media. But most importantly, he takes action in housing, education, and environmental reform. A leader is someone who not only talks, but acts as well.

[Aiden Medina @aidenm310]

@emmaganderson0 Great choice for a leader! One who cares about inspiring others and sharing her knowledge with the world rather than solely focusing on making money.
