There are a lot of people who inspire me, and it would be fun to highlight them all. As I’ve made no secret, Taylor Swift is up there on my list. While there are many reasons she is an inspiration for me, including her drive, authenticity, and business acumen, one of the things that stands out the most is how she uses her platform for greater good. A great example is how she has approached her worldwide Eras Tour, which will continue through the fall. Taylor has genuinely connected with local areas throughout the tour—and not just in the way she puts on a show. She has donated to food banks in the cities she’s performed, inspiring a flurry of donations from her fans.?

Not only has her leadership helped food banks expand their reach, but it’s raised awareness about increasing food insecurity around the globe. In fact, during her stretch in the UK, Taylor was praised for doing more than the government to help combat food insecurity, with one organization quoted as saying she donated enough to provide 10,800 meals!?

Yes, Taylor Swift has a huge platform. But thanks to social media, we all have a platform and the ability to extend our influence. It doesn’t matter how large or small our platform is. What matters is how we put that platform to use. From women’s rights to poverty to animal welfare, when each of us calls attention to the issues we care about, we can bring about a better world.?

What causes inspire you? And who do you admire for using their platform to improve the lives of others??
