Rosario Diaz Garavito —fundadora de The Millennials Movement — no buscaba que la consideraran una emprendedora y líder comunitaria cuando inició su pequeño movimiento en los medios sociales para promover el voluntariado juvenil en 2013. Solo estaba dedicada a hacer el trabajo por delante. El reconocimiento por el impacto de su ardua labor llegó años después cuando la aceptaron como becaria de YLAI en 2016.
