Let's make this birthday one to remember.

46 years old (Born on November 12, 1978)

Happy Birthday, Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy! You're the only person we know who casually collects Emmys and Oscars like they're fridge magnets. Seriously though, being the first non-American to snag the Livingston Award for Young Journalists is no small feat—clearly your trophy shelf needs its own zip code by now!

From groundbreaking documentaries that inspire global conversations to championing stories of courage and resilience, you've made storytelling look effortlessly cool (and slightly intimidating). May this birthday bring you as much joy as your work has brought inspiration worldwide—and may your next award come with a bigger mantelpiece included. Cheers!
