When asked, “What inspires you?” Faith responded: “I am inspired by my travels. I am inspired by the fact that some of the friendliest and most generous people I’ve met have also been those who have the least to give. I am inspired by the idea that spending my life doing anything other than development work doesn’t make any sense. I am inspired by Muhammad Yunus, Jacqueline Novogratz, Bill Drayton, and my older brother.”
