Samantha Power

• In the 90’s she covered the Yugoslav wars for The Boston Globe and The Economist to name but a few. Angelina Jolie #jealous.
• She looks like a traditional Volvo-driving soccer mom, but that hippy long red hair also makes her look like the sort of mum who would probably be a dark horse and good fun at parties.
• She apparently plays basketball with George Clooney and her mother is an incredible squash player we hear.
• She’s both criticized and commended for her hands-on militaristic approach. John McCain was a great supporter of her appointment as US Ambassador to the UN – need we say more.
• Her first public speech to young activists last week addressed many of the failings of the UN over the past years, criticizing its red-tape and ?entrenched? bureaucracy, adding ?what matters is results, everything else is just noise.? You go Sammy.
• Her Pultizer Prize-winning book A Problem from Hell: America and the Age of Genocide is incredible – accessible synopses of modern genocides from Cambodia, Armenia, Bosnia.?
• She got married in Kerry.?And she was 38. Props.

This is who you should want to be when you grow up. Yes?
