Jason Momoa (b. 1979)
There's a composition to Jason Momoa's public image that I find genuinely interesting as a designer -- the towering 'Aquaman' presence contrasted against this very deliberate, softer message underneath it about oceans and clean water, like a bold color used specifically to draw your eye toward a smaller, quieter detail. He's used his platform for ocean conservation and clean water access, and founded an aluminum water company specifically to cut down on single-use plastic, which is the kind of thing that only works if people actually pay attention to who's saying it. I've been pushing a stroller past the same stretch of overflowing recycling bins near my apartment for months now, thinking about what kind of planet my daughter is going to inherit, and there's something reassuring about someone with that much visibility choosing to spend it on something as unglamorous as packaging material. It's not a flashy cause. It's a practical one, dressed in a very flashy frame. I respect that kind of composition.
Jason Sudeikis (b. 1975)
I do not, generally, watch a great deal of television, but I made an exception for 'Ted Lasso' at my son's insistence, and I understand now why an entire generation found something worth holding onto in it. Jason Sudeikis co-created a show whose entire thesis is that kindness is not naivety but a discipline, which is a more rigorous idea than it sounds -- optimism, done well, requires just as much sustained effort as cynicism, arguably more. He also donated actual prize money the show generated to a children's hospital, which moved the premise off the screen and into something verifiable. I spent decades insisting that good ideas ought to be able to survive contact with scrutiny, and 'Ted Lasso' surprised me by holding up under it rather better than I expected a sitcom to. My son, the artist in the family, was rather smug about being right for once. I let him have it. Some victories are worth conceding gracefully.
Jason Mraz (b. 1977)
Well, I never expected to feel a kinship with a Grammy-winning singer from California, but here we are -- Jason Mraz runs an avocado farm that teaches sustainable agriculture, and I've got two beehives out back this winter that my neighbor talked me into, and let me tell you, once you start paying attention to what's growing under your own feet, it changes how you look at everybody who does the same. Mraz is best known for that song 'I'm Yours,' which my granddaughter has sung around my kitchen more times than I can count, but what struck me reading about him was the part where he gives a portion of his tour money to environmental causes without much fuss about it. Quiet generosity is the kind I trust most -- the kind that doesn't need an audience to keep going. My mama always said the Lord blesses the hands that stay busy in good dirt, and whether or not Mr. Mraz would put it that way, I expect he'd understand exactly what she meant.
