Malala Yousafzai, 17, was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize this year, along with India's Kailash Satyarthi, 60, for their struggles against the suppression of children and for young people's rights, including the right to education.
Since recovering from surgery, Yousafzai has taken her campaign to the global stage, especially with a speech at the United Nations last year.
Yousafzai's win shines a beam of light upon her efforts to make education available to children (especially girls) around the world. In early 2009, when she was only 11, Yousafzai blogged anonymously for the BBC about life under the Taliban. And in October 2012, she survived an assassination attempt by a Taliban gunman.
She may be best known for Grammy award-winning songs, but Toni Braxton has done so much more over the years. She has starred on Broadway, appeared on Dancing With The Stars, headlined a two-year gig at the Flamingo Hotel in Las Vegas and was featured in hit TV series and movies such as Kingdom Come. The mother of two boys Denham, 12 1/2, and Diesel, 11, has also done a lot of charity work for Autism Speaks and the American Heart Association. Her son Diesel was diagnosed with autism at the age of 3 and ever since Toni has been a spokesperson, raising money for research and promoting awareness.
But Toni had a big challenge ahead of her in 2010, Oct. 6, she filed for bankruptcy once again. The singer is now doing well and we pray for further success in the industry.
Happy Birthday to you Toni Braxton, no matter what, you remain a true legend and more.
