00:00I truly believe that the privilege of a lifetime is being who you are.
00:04I just recently embraced that at 51.
00:07The two most important days in your life are the day you were born and the day you discover why
00:16you were born.
00:16I came here to live out loud.
00:19I reject the notion in the past that dark-skinned women cannot be beautiful.
00:24I reject the fact that if I take my wig off and do a whole scene with my fro, that
00:30somehow that that is taboo.
00:32I reject the fact that I have to be a size two.
00:36Here's to all the people who have redefined what it means to be beautiful, to be sexy, to be a
00:45leading woman, to be black.
00:47Sometimes we don't have to shake the world and move the world and create anything that is going to be
00:53in a history book.
00:54The fact that we breathe and live a life, just that means that we have a story and it deserves
01:01to be told.
01:02Dream big and dream fierce.
