Rowan Blanchard & 11 Icons That Changed the World in 2016

12. Miley Cyrus

Miley Cyrus may still be known for her wild child antics, but in 2016 she continued her work with the Happy Hippie Foundation (a charity she founded) to support the causes closest to her heart–women’s rights, LGBTQ rights, mental health, animal welfare, homeless youth, the environment, education, and social justice. She also uses her Instagram to promote these causes, and she campaigned for Hillary Clinton during the election cycle. If you ask us, this incredible artist doesn’t get nearly enough credit.
