Why Leaders Must Put People First in Today's World | Pamela Morgan

Her brother lived most of his life on the streets. He was tragically murdered in Montreal in a hate crime. In his memory, she built something powerful. Twenty-five years later, that mission now feeds over 700 families every Christmas.
