In her article “The Target,” in the April issue of Vanity Fair, she tells how a girl from a remote village became a force for change as well as a focus for a number of complex agendas.

I am 52 year old white American male and Malala is my hero. She represents everything that is good about her generation, to me she is as inspiring as Mandela. Her story and her life are affecting how I raise my own kids.
Has your guest heard of the movie Girl Rising that opened March 6th? http://girlrising.com/
