-
- Society & Culture
“Don’t waste time trying to be anyone else or to fit in any kind of box. Sometimes the
best and most effective kind of self-expression is the stuff that feels the weirdest or the
strangest or sometimes the most reckless.”
Actor, songwriter and Tony Award winner Ben Platt talks opening up on his debut album, growing up as a self-described “theater kid,” and meeting Beyoncé backstage at one of his shows. He shares his dream of being a father someday, and why he thinks embracing what makes you who uniquely who you are is the ticket to discovering your passion and purpose.
We also hear from Neveah Spillman, 13, of Kansas City, on proving people wrong to make change as the very first female quarterback of her high school football team.
