Time’s highly-coveted 100 Most Influential People List is out, and it’s infused with melanin, and WE LOVE TO SEE IT.

Despite 2020 currently taking on us one of the wildest rides in recent memory, Time still managed to find 100 of the world’s most influential people. As with previous years, the iconic publication highlighted well-known names in tech, music, sports, television, film, politics, and science breaking them up into categories. This year is even more special because it also honored the medical professionals currently on the frontlines battling COVID-19 and the people now fighting for social justice.

Dr.Anthony Fauci, who leads the “Leaders” category and has become a household name once again due to his expertise and guidance as we battle COVID-19, was profiled by late-night television host Jimmy Kimmel. Fauci has become even more trusted than the “president” as he fights to get the correct information out to the people. Our future Vice President, hopefully, Kamala Harris, is also included in the category with Dr.Fauci and is profiled by US Representative Ayanna Pressley.
