Of the rising stars and changemakers on the 2023 list, TIME Editor-in-Chief Sam Jacobs writes: “With efforts like Person of the Year and TIME100, we have used the power of our spotlight to draw attention to those who have achieved peak influence in their fields. A great magazine and a great media company should not just reflect the present, it should push us forward, showing what is possible as well as what society’s future and future leaders will look like. That is our ambition for TIME100 Next.” https://bit.ly/3EDItaO
