Malala Yousafzai

When Malala Yousafzai speaks, the world takes notice. At 11, she spoke out against the Taliban’s ban on girls’ education. At 15, she survived an assassination attempt. At 17, she won a Nobel Peace Prize for her advocacy. Now, at 27, Malala is using her voice to amplify the stories of others through film. “I believe that storytelling is the soul of activism,” Malala tells us. “I know this from my own life and how much my story has resonated with people around the world.”

Being homeless, I find it really, really stressful. It’s one of the reasons I sell The Big Issue, because it takes my mind off it, and I focus on the customers.

I like selling The Big Issue, just the fact that you’re out there meeting people, and being outdoors.
