00:00 What does it mean to be a woman of influence?
00:03 To be a woman of influence.
00:04 To be a woman of influence.
00:06 A woman of influence.
00:07 A woman of influence in 2024.
00:10 It's about listening.
00:12 I think it's hard to help without first hearing.
00:16 So in 2024, I want my love to start with listening.
00:20 A woman of influence is someone who possesses or embodies
00:24 strength, courage, wisdom, confidence.
00:28 At the same time, kindness, compassion, and resilience.
00:33 It means embracing and celebrating your uniqueness.
00:37 It means creating positive change that
00:41 impacts the next generation.
00:44 I believe that in an era where the media is undergoing
00:46 massive transformation, it's critical to use our influence
00:49 to uplift and empower people and create impactful change.
00:53 It's not trying to meet the expectations of others.
00:56 It's more about being your authentic self.
00:58 Yes, other people may not believe in you, but who cares?
01:01 Because what matters is you trust you.
01:05 And that's more than enough.
01:07 Because we need to prove to the world that women can do it,
01:09 even when society's standards prove otherwise.
01:12 And even when people tell us that we can't do anything
01:15 or that we're only limited to something or some action,
01:19 it's really important that we have this kind of power.
01:22 She's someone who inspires other people
01:25 to become the best and truest version of themselves.
01:30 But let's be clear.
01:32 Let's be clear.
01:33 Let's be clear.
01:34 You don't need to be popular or fit a certain body type.
01:38 Or follow society's expectations of you.
01:40 No, never.
01:41 We're here to tell you
01:42 you are more than enough.
01:45 You are special in your own way
01:47 and don't let anyone tell you otherwise.
01:50 In fact, you're extraordinary.
01:53 You have a platform, so use it to educate others.
01:57 You're beautiful in your own skin,
01:59 but you look your best when you're confident.
02:02 You're strong even when you doubt yourself.
02:04 You have a voice, so find the courage to speak up.
02:08 You have a dream, so work hard to achieve your goals.
02:12 You have your own timeline,
02:14 so stop comparing yourself to others
02:16 and live your own life.
02:18 You have a community of women behind you,
02:20 a sisterhood, so believe in yourself.
02:23 Because when women support women,
02:25 we all become women of influence.
02:29 And 2024 is our year.
02:31 It's our year.
02:32 It's our year.
02:33 So let's make history, together.
