I was so inspired by the story of Joan of Arc and by the stunning statue I saw in her honor when I was last in Paris, I wrote the Substack piece, “Are YOU the next Joan of Arc?” earlier this year. My message is clear: leadership doesn’t require glamour or privileged birth. The fabric of our democracy is varied and unique simply because we, the people, are varied and unique.
