«You can be that person, and be here» — Jacinda Ardern’s valedictory speech

«You can be that person, and be here» — Jacinda Ardern’s valedictory speech

A remarkable politician bids goodbye. I think her farewell speech is worth reading in full, but here’s the key quote: «I do hope I have demonstrated something else entirely. That you can be anxious, sensitive, kind and wear your heart on your sleeve. You can be … a nerd, a crier, a hugger – you can be all of these things, and not only can you be here – you can lead.» Prefer a short video? There you go.
