00:00 I often find that in whatever travels I've done, regardless if it's Nigeria or another country around the world,
00:05 oftentimes when women reach the peak of success, they leave.
00:09 But you need to come back home.
00:12 You need to at least be a familiar face for the next generation to say, "Oh, she looks like me, and I can be that."
00:20 And I think that is a really key piece in all of it, where success isn't defined by, "Oh, you've gotten out, you've gone somewhere else."
00:27 It's defined by, "And you still always want to come back home."
00:31 Because that's how you're going to help shift any sort of generational pattern that might be stifling,
00:38 especially for young girls who need to see someone who looks like them in that same position of power and strength.
00:43 I don't want to interrupt you, but you have come back home.
00:45 [Applause]
