I love you too. Oh my God. First of all, my heart hasn't stopped beating for the last 30 minutes and I dropped my earring. And I know, we're all supposed to give speeches, I actually wrote one but I completely forgot about it.
One thing that's especially special to me is that I'm in a room full of incredible women, and I'm standing with a continent behind me, I'm standing with the people behind me. And it makes me feel like I'm a part of something just by being in this room. I want to dedicate this award to my mother, who is the first woman I met. And she really inspired me that no matter what you're going through, that shouldn't give you a reason not to stand up for everyone around you and I really want to take this opportunity to say that to all the women in the room, in the world. , that no matter what you are going through, know that you are not alone. So even when you are sad, even when you are angry, there is someone who is also angry. So encourage everyone around you because, just like you, they need it and someone is there to help you. And I think it's very important that we have each other. I know it's corny to say, you know, support each other, but it's true. We have no one but ourselves. I mean, it's the women who have the women, believe me, so a big thank you to my team. Thanks God. Thanks to my family, to my fans. Thanks to my followers. Thank you to everyone in this room for being amazing and to all the women who are here and being strong and God bless you all.
