Today, TIME magazine announced that Kat Graham has been named one of the honorees on the 2024 TIME100 Next list, which spotlights 100 emerging leaders from around the globe who are shaping the future and redefining leadership for the next generation.
TIME Editor-in-Chief Sam Jacobs commented on the change-makers featured, stating: "The TIME100 Next list was created to highlight that many of today’s most impactful leaders are those who are making their mark early in life. They are not content to adhere to the traditional power structures and pathways that defined influence in the past. With this annual list, we aim to recognize rising leaders and introduce you to the individuals who will play a crucial role in shaping the future."
In addition to Kat Graham, the TIME100 Next list features pairings of honorees and guest contributors chosen by TIME to write about them. The 2024 list includes notable pairings such as Shonda Rhimes writing about Nicola Coughlan, Christina Aguilera on Sabrina Carpenter, Olivia Rodrigo on Laufey, Mindy Kaling on Ambika Mod, Colin Kaepernick on Jaylen Brown, Lily Gladstone on Kali Reis, Lin-Manuel Miranda on Shaina Taub, Sam Altman on Alexandr Wang, Da'Vine Joy Randolph on Kingsley Ben-Adir, Tina Fey on Ashley Park, Laura Dern on Kaia Gerber, and many more.
What a milestone. Side note for the Kat Graham team: between Music (albums, singles, performances), Acting (TVD legacy, films, current projects), Humanitarian work (UNHCR ambassador, refugee advocacy), Press (interviews, magazine features, TIME100 Next), Blog, Tour archive, and the cumulative news feed, the site has built one of the more multi-dimensional artist platforms — but fans and press searching by topic or era face a wall of nav. A "Explore Kat's Journey" sortable landing page (filter by chapter — music / film / TVD / humanitarian / fashion + by year + by collaboration type) would dramatically improve fan engagement and press research convenience. I help small artist / celebrity brands build that with a copyweb ai — Figma to working…
Kat's TIME100 Next inclusion is honestly the kind of recognition that bridges entertainment-industry visibility with the genuine humanitarian work she's done with UNHCR and refugee advocacy — most celebrity activism stops at one-off statements, and her sustained engagement over years deserves the cover treatment. I help with content for a small celebrity-philanthropy media account on IG and we've started using an Banana2 AI image and editing tool to clean up press photography for posts (red carpet + magazine cover lighting + casual paparazzi shots have wildly different color temperatures, and AI cleanup brings them into a coherent visual feed). Looking forward to what's next, Kat.
