TIME100 NEXT The 2021 edition of
TIME100 Next in the March 1/March 8 issue
drove much conversation on social media,
with pundits and commenters hailing the
honorees in politics, health, tech and other
fi elds. On Twitter,
Tom Steyer, 2020
presidential candi-
date, said the climate
activists Vanessa
Nakate, Ayana Eliza-
beth Johnson and Ju-
lian Brave NoiseCat
are “the future,” and
actor Bradley Whit-
ford called Harris
County Judge Linda
Hidalgo “an amazing
public servant.”
In many instances, tributes to those fea-
tured were written by established trail blazers
in their fi eld. Amanda Gorman, the poet who
spoke at President Joe Biden’s Inauguration,
wrote that she was starstruck by the words
Hamilton creator Lin- Manuel Miranda wrote
for her. “When we met [years] ago, I shoved a
poem into his hands & said ‘I’m too nervous
to speak but this is what I’d say if I could!’ ”
she tweeted. “He hugged me & said he’d keep
it to say he knew me when. Look at us now.”
Others took their inclusion as an oppor-
tunity to refl ect, and to pay it forward. “This
honor is actually an acknowledgment that
the work is just be-
ginning,” Omar Tate,
a Philadelphia- based
chef and activist,
wrote on Insta gram of
his place on the list.
“We may not see our
great grandchildren
running the stores, fa-
cilities, schools, that
we are building for
them. What I know we
will see are the bricks
being laid, because we
are already holding
them in our hands.”‘Honored.
Blessed.
Prepared.
Purposed.
Nex t.’
KIZZMEKIA CORBETT,
immunologist and
honoree, on Twitter‘When one
of us wins,
all of us win,
struggle
strengthens
us all. I
don’t do
this alone.’
