Melinda French Gates spent over two decades helping lead the world's largest private foundation, saving millions of lives across the globe. Now, with a $12.5 billion commitment and her own organization, Pivotal Ventures, she's bringing the fight home, championing women's health, women's power, and the rights that too many are losing too fast. 

In this powerful conversation with hosts Martin Luther King III, Arndrea Waters King, Marc Kielburger, and Craig Kielburger, Melinda opens up about navigating life's biggest transitions, the lessons her parents gave her that she still lives by, and what it means to rebuild a life of purpose. 

Together, they explore how: 
Set your own agenda or someone else will 
A meaningful life is measured by love and service, not wealth 
Perfectionism quietly steals the joy from your own achievements 
When anxiety strikes, lean forward — not back 
AI is only as good as the diversity of the people building it

Originally aired March 3, 2026 

Zarna Garg is one of the fastest-rising comedians in America. A sold-out touring headliner, streaming special comedy star, and breakout voice redefining what midlife success looks like, Zarna didn’t step onto a stand-up stage until she was 44. 

In this electric and deeply personal episode of My Legacy, Zarna joins hosts Martin Luther King III, Arndrea Waters King, Marc Kielburger, and Craig Kielburger to talk about losing her mother at 14, leaving home, immigrating to the U.S., and reinventing herself more than once. By her side is her plus one — her daughter Zoya — the person who dared her to try stand-up and helped turn her jokes into a viral, sold-out comedy career. 

Together, they share how: 
It’s never too late to reinvent yourself 
The life experience you think disqualifies you may be your greatest advantage 
Betting on yourself can change your family’s future 
Reinvention requires courage — not permission 
Your voice gets stronger with age
