But how did Condoleezza Rice come to be so successful?
Born in 1954, in Birmingham, Alabama. Rice grew up surrounded by racism in the segregated South.
As a child, her real passion was music, which led her to learn to play the piano and join college as a music major.
However, during her time at college, her interests shifted to politics and she eventually left the University of Denver in 1974 with a degree in political science.
She continued her time in education, with a brief stint at Moscow University, and then eventually becoming a professor at Stanford.
During her time as secretary of state, Rice was set on promoting world peace.
She placed American diplomats throughout the Middle East, especially in areas of major turmoil. The 67-year-old also played essential roles in peace talks on a global scale.
