Let's make this birthday one to remember.

65 years old (Born on November 16, 1959)

Happy Birthday, Sheryl WuDunn! Another year older and wiser—but still breaking ceilings like they're fortune cookies. From your fearless reporting that woke the world in "China Wakes," to shaking thunderous truths into readers with "Thunder from the East," you've made history one vivid story at a time.

Your tireless advocacy through "Half the Sky" continues lighting fires globally—proving you're half writer, half superhero. Forget counting candles this birthday—you've broken more barriers than we can count anyway!

Here's wishing another year packed full of brilliant insights, groundbreaking stories (and perhaps a new bestselling book?). Keep inspiring us all!
