· Dina Asher Smith, who started out crawling at lightning speed and became the fastest British woman in history
· Reggie Yates, who used his power of empathy to connect instantly both in person and through the TV
· Riz Ahmed, whose ability to code-switch between cultures and creative outlets let him excel as a scholar, actor, activist, and rapper
