The LeoFinelli.com Most Influential Person of 2017

SHE ARRIVED ON A STRANGELY warm March evening in New York earlier this year. She was loaded off her truck and fixed opposite a thirty-year-old statue of a charging bull. She was the brainchild of advertising agency McCann and State Street Global Advisors. She was five feet tall, and she had the same proactive attitude as every other girl in New York. She had hair blowing in the wind, she wore a T-shirt and a skirt, she wore sneakers. She was just like every other girl in New York. Except she could not move. The "Fearless Girl", a statue aimed at promoting the power of women in leadership, sculpted by Kristen Visbal, was unveiled the following morning, and the news media poured down on her. She got crowned with anti-Trump pink hats. She was the #1 trending topic on all social media. Many people knew and heard her message. She was initially only meant to stay for a week. But a week became a month, and a month became a year. Nira Desai even started a Change.org petition to make

Be a dear world and get well soon

On December 26, 2019, composer/lyricist Jerry Herman died. Herman was most famous for writing the music and lyrics for the musicals "Hello, Dolly!" and "La Cage aux Folles." But in 1968, he wrote a now-forgotten show called "Dear World," based on The Madwoman of Chaillot. And it featured the following title song: It is almost breathtaking how much this song applies to our current situation - not just the coronavirus crisis, but the climate crisis as well. If only Jerry Herman had lived to see his song take on this meaning. CLOSING QUESTION (Leave your answers in the comments) Do you think this song should be played at climate strikes/rallies or other protest events? The most important part of reading The Corona Light is to pay it forward - by literally forwarding! Let's bring inspiration, hope, and empowerment to as many people as we can!

A Letter to Holly Figueroa O'Reilly

Earlier today I sent an email to Holly Figueroa O'Reilly. She's a songwriter and activist from Seattle who sued President Trump and won - twice. Her bravery is to be admired. That's why I wrote her the following. Dear Holly, Hi. I’m 19 years old. I want to tell you a little bit about myself because of how much you inspire me. I am a person with autism. Wikipedia will tell you that autism is a developmental yada-yada. I can tell you that for me, autism is a perpetual desire to communicate and connect with humanity, and to understand why all people, including myself, think and feel and act the way they do. Communication and connection are hard for me, though. I’m rather impulsive and inarticulate when I talk, but I’ve found that writing scripts and songs is my only way of really expressing myself. I am a social justice advocate. My curiosity about humanity, as a person with autism, led me to realize how wonderfully different all people are. People come in all genders, not ju
