Melinda is a wonderful example of a great human being.

I admire Melinda French Gates, not because she is rich, but because she is generous, intelligent and has a great vision of the future of women in the USA !

Wow. Nice to hear her speak after seeing only pictures of her for decades. Full disclosure, I've never sought out and watched any interview she may have gave over the years, so that's on me. But this interview with Stephen Colbert definitely raises awareness about her and the causes she advocates for to a very wide audience of people who may have not heard her discuss them before. And wow, is she articulate and passionate. This is great news for the future of America and the rights of women in this country which is presently facing grave threats.

❤ Melinda! She's a forward and optimistic thinker, shaker, and mover! God bless her always for advocating for moving women forward with full voices and resources.

[sandialdrich]

Yay 😁 Melinda French Gates. Great interview.

[wowenne]

Hats off to Melinda for her leadership, great generosity and desire to promote the welfare of others. ❤

She's not wrong. All billionaires should either give it back to the people who made them billionaires or get taxed (and pay!) to the extent that the least of us are benefitted by their extraordinary wealth. One human does NOT NEED A BILLION DOLLARS while billions of humans live without so much as potable water!🤬

[Rebel_AF]

I so ADMIRE this woman! What a journey she's been on!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Melinda Gates has a degree in computer science and an MBA. She was a GM marketing manager at Microsoft. Haters, who often look for weaker/uneducated/easy to control women, think all women do is marry for money. If you want to hate on someone, why not say, “She very successful until she was preyed upon by her boss.” In reality though, she helped build Microsoft and deserves her share of the profits to do as she wishes.

Love to see her free from Gates. She's positively glowing with enthusiasm.

[mikeroberts]

[clarepellerin]

She is stunning!!! Articulate, cool, warm-hearted, and badass... It's delightful to see her in the spotlight!!! ✨

[lewisprime]

[HelHathNoFury]

I like billionaires like Melinda French Gates and McKenzie Scott!

[Miguela]

Wow never heard her speak. I had no idea how amazing she is. Thanks for everything you do!
