00:00Jessica Chastain!

00:12So I grew up in Northern California and my mom had me when she was 17.

00:16And it was four of us, my mom, my sister, my brother, and me.

00:20And it was a single-parent household. We moved around a lot.

00:24And I didn't really know what normal looked like outside of our front door.

00:28Life was just life.

00:30Once at a grocery store, my mom realized she didn't have enough money.

00:34And I watched her quietly hand back one item, then another, trying to bring the total down.

00:40And my cheeks burned with every cashier beep and every frustrated sigh from the people behind us.

00:48And we were really hungry. Actually, back then we were hungry a lot.

00:52My sister struggled with mental illness and is no longer with us.

00:56And I don't share that for sympathy.

01:00I share it because silence doesn't heal.

01:03Love and acknowledgement do.

01:06If I work so fiercely to help others feel seen, it is because I know what it is to feel invisible.

01:12And to know the cost when pain isn't witnessed.

01:16My work is a promise to her and to anyone who has ever needed someone to say,

01:21I'm here and I'm listening.

01:24So standing in front of this star, I feel the weight and the great gift of what we get to do in Hollywood.

01:31We'll see you next time.
