The 59th edition of GEM tests the pulse of the under forty generation to find out what they are thinking. The list consists of standouts in society that represent business, social media, politics, sports, fashion, entertainment, media, music, marketing, legal, medical and other professions.
In its release to the media, GEM disclosed that reaching a final forty was a meticulous and lengthy process, since there were close to 150 names to choose from. Each committee member had their own favourites, but in the end, the majority ruled on a final list and to have Fox as the cover choice. Plans are already being made to run other feature in an upcoming issue to highlight a fresh group of deserving game-changers in society.
