Let's make this birthday one to remember.

86 years old (Born on October 29, 1938)

Happy Birthday, Madam Ellen Johnson Sirleaf! You've shattered glass ceilings and made history as Africa's first female president—proving that finance ministers can indeed balance more than just budgets. Your leadership has inspired countless women worldwide to dream bigger (and perhaps run for office instead of running from math class).

From steering Liberia through challenging times with grace and resilience, to earning the Nobel Peace Prize in 2011—you've shown us all how it's done. May your birthday be filled with laughter, joy—and absolutely no budget meetings!

Here's wishing you another year full of groundbreaking achievements and endless smiles!
