There are so many inspiring people. Voltaire, a father of The Enlightenment. Thomas Jefferson, who co-authored the American Declaration of Independence. Hunter S. Thompson, the great free-spirit and critical-thinking Gonzo journalist. And my biggest hero, Ada, my granddaughter born on 4 August 2020. She is one of the millions of heroes who will shape our future.
