Prissy Mag loves a hero, especially a living hero. We define our living hero as someone who strives to impact the world in a positive way, has a certain nobility of purpose. As with artists, we believe that heroes have no boundaries so we look for them and accept them wherever we find them, be it Paris, Portland, or Peking. We hope you’ll think they’re heroes too.

PM: So, you’re an American, living in Moscow?


SG: Yes, I’m American and currently living in the Moscow, Russian Federation, and back to being a full time student. I’m working towards an international MBA, and currently in a language (Russian) emersion program, prior to being allowed to attend Moscow State University.

PM: What’s your typical day there like?


SG: I spend six hours in school, two on the metro, two and a half hours of homework balanced by a set of correspondence with India, Turkey, USA (East and West coast) so I’m living in a “flattened world (The World is Flat ) and working five or so hours on Challenge2Society’s website.

Any Soldier: Still on Active Duty
Written by Priscilla Lalisse   
001anysold.jpgI had just come back from a trip to the U.S. back in 2004 when I first learned about Any Soldier. I had noticed many servicemen walking around in dessert-color fatigues, headed for Iraq or Afghanistan. When I found myself face to face with soldiers at the airport, I wanted to go up and ask how I could support them, and let them know that Americans everywhere cared about them...but I didn’t know where to begin. Finally, after arriving back in France, I decided to go online. This is what I found: Any Soldier and three years later, I still can’t stop singing its praises.
