Story 1: Chadwick Boseman, a man who didn’t just play heroes on the silver screen but became one in real life, rising to legendary status through his unmatched talent and unwavering grace. As Black Panther, he embodied more than just a superhero; he became a symbol of strength, dignity, and hope, leaving an indelible mark both on and off the screen.

Story 2: *Note: This is Slater's favorite case of all time* For more than three decades, the Belgian non-profit APOPO has been training African Giant Pouched Rats, a spectacular species with extraordinary scent detection abilities, boundless stamina, and a lifespan long enough to dedicate years to working life saving missions. Originally trained to detect landmines and tuberculosis, these remarkable rodents have since been at the forefront of innovation in humanitarian work. And they look dang cute doing it, too.

Story 3: In 2019, the tremendous honor of the Global Teacher Prize went to Peter Tanichi, a dedicated teacher from a remote community in Kenya’s Rift Valley. His win wasn’t just historic—it was groundbreaking. Peter became the first African and the first male educator to claim the prize, shattering expectations and setting a new precedent on the global stage.
