Bianca Jagger (b. 1945)
Bianca Jagger has spent decades now campaigning on human rights and the environment, which is a longer stretch of steady devotion to a cause than most folks manage, and she came to it from Nicaragua originally before her name got known the world over. I don't follow the ins and outs of every cause somebody takes up, but I do respect a person who picks something bigger than themselves and sticks with it past the point where it's fashionable. I had a former student who became something of an activist herself, always writing me about one cause or another, and I used to tell her the same thing I'd tell Bianca Jagger if she ever wandered into my kitchen: conviction is worth more when it costs you something to keep it. Seems like Jagger's kept at it a long time, well past when the cameras cared. That's the kind of staying power I was always trying to teach in a two-room schoolhouse, in my own small way.
Bianca Andreescu (b. 2000)
Bianca Andreescu won the U.S. Open as a teenager in 2019, the first Canadian ever to take home a Grand Slam singles title, which is the kind of thing that would've made the front page of our little county paper for a solid month if she'd been from around here. I don't know tennis from tiddlywinks, truth be told, but I know what it takes for a young person to walk into a big arena and not fold under all those eyes. I had third graders who couldn't read a spelling test out loud without shaking, so I have a soft spot for anybody who can perform under that kind of pressure at any age, let alone as a teenager on the world's stage. My advice for young folks with a gift is always the same, whether it's tennis or times tables: practice till it's boring, then go be brave anyway. Sounds like Andreescu did exactly that, and the trophy proves it.
Bianca Balti (b. 1984)
Bianca Balti has had a genuinely decades-long career as an Italian supermodel, appearing in campaigns for major fashion houses well past the point where the industry usually discards people, especially women, for being "too experienced." I think about longevity a lot given how unstable and short-cycle basically every job I've ever had has been β three jobs at once, none of them permanent, all of them one bad scheduling week from falling apart. A career that actually sustains across decades in an industry famous for chewing people up fast is honestly kind of remarkable and doesn't get talked about as its own achievement, separate from the glamorous surface stuff. Fashion specifically has a brutal churn rate, and staying relevant and employed in it long-term requires a kind of resilience that isn't captured in a single magazine cover. I don't know the specifics of how she's managed it, but "still working, still respected, decades in" is honestly its own quiet form of success that deserves more credit than the campaigns themselves.
