During the more than 25 years working in the fashion industry, she became the greatest Brazilian top model of all time and helped bring Brazil’s image onto the world stage, becoming an international reference of beauty, health, and Brazilianness. Considered one of the fashion legends, Gisele Bündchen revolutionized one of the most conservative industries, bringing a healthy and curvaceous body to the catwalks at a time when those were occupied exclusively by hyper-thin girls with androgynous looks, and becoming the most respected professional on the planet precisely for acting differently in such a market. She gained fame and worldwide recognition at a time when there were no social media. Gisele’s influence in the fashion world is so remarkable that she was categorized as being above supermodels: an Übermodel. The impact of her image is so astonishing that a stock index was created with her name and she was listed several times by Forbes magazine as one of the most important celebrities in the world. She also appeared in Forbes’ most powerful women ranking and was for years considered the highest-paid model in the world. Her professionalism, positive attitude and contagious energy were crucial in helping her reach the apex of her career and achieve so many things. Gisele, however, is far from being just a pretty face: she is considered one of the most powerful women on Earth, and one of the most generous celebrities as well. She uses her fame to bring attention to environmental issues, which led her to be nominated as Goodwill Ambassador for the Environment by the UN and recognized by several global entities for her efforts and donations. All these qualities make Bündchen an avantgarde figure and an example of feminine strength today. In her bestselling book “Lessons: My Path to a Meaningful Life”, Gisele shows herself as a woman whose private life is the opposite of her public image and points out important tools that helped her get to where she is today.

Few presidents have walked a more improbable path to the White House. Born in Hawaii to a mother from Kansas and a father from Kenya, Obama was raised with help from his grandparents, whose generosity of spirit reflected their Midwestern roots. The homespun values they instilled in him, paired with his innate sense of optimism, compelled Obama to devote his life to giving every child, regardless of his or her background, the same chance America gave him. After working his way through college with the help of scholarships and student loans, Obama moved to Chicago, where he worked with a group of churches to help rebuild communities devastated by the closure of local steel plants. That experience honed his belief in the power of uniting ordinary people around a politics of purpose, in the hard work of citizenship, to bring about positive change. In law school, he became the first African-American president of the Harvard Law Review, then he returned to Illinois to teach constitutional law at the University of Chicago and begin a career in public service, winning seats in the Illinois State Senate and the United States Senate.
