Leadership Memphis has named its 10 Change Makers for 2022, the people who work to better Memphis and the world around them.

"Each Change Maker’s work has enhanced the community, uplifted other people, and made Memphis a better place," the community leadership and volunteer organization said in a news release.

The Change Makers were selected from a large pool of nominees submitted by the public before being reviewed by a panel of judges who then chose this year's honorees.
