Millennial achievers changing the world

Using our contacts in journalism, we uncovered fascinating individuals trying to make a difference to their communities. Bringing the short list down to six stories was a challenge in itself, but we loved the final characters - from an African American theatre director in Vermont, to a smart fisherman pioneering sustainable practices in Holland to the founder of a sustainable fashion label in Shanghai. This resulted in a series that was a first time for Deloitte - using video alongside their original research as a tool to connect with their stakeholders.  

The first example tells the story of two friends from Mexico City who developed a type of cactus skin as a sustainable material for their designer clothes label. The second is the story of Joyce, an entrepreneur who launched a female-only car garage in Abuja. Not just a place where women can get their cars fixed but a school where young female apprentices learn a trade traditionally ascribed to men.
