#4.10 GRACE SINATS - PEOPLE OF PASSION SERIES

Grace is certainly the youngest activist I have ever met – to have such a clear vision of the changes that need to happen in our world and to be able to express those ideas effectively at age 15 is remarkable. I truly believe this is the tip of the iceberg and you will be hearing much more from Grace in the future!  She is an inspiration to us all, especially teen activists!
