00:00When I think women's history, I think about strong women who have impacted just life in general.
00:07You know, I think women are the backbone of, you know, a lot of societies and revolutions.
00:12Since I was 14, I have admired Fannie Lou Hamer.
00:15Fannie Lou Hamer, I call her the godmother of the American vote.
00:19She was a sharecropper, illiterate woman in Mississippi who kept showing up every time they put an obstacle in her way, demanding the right to vote.
00:28Ooh, I would have to say Oprah Winfrey.
00:32I'd have to agree.
00:34The person I'm thinking of right now is Taraji P. Henson.
00:36Oh my god, there's so many. I think the living one right now, Oprah. She's my favorite.
00:41Oh my god, my mother. It starts at my home. It had to be my mom's.
00:46I mean, I'm in media, so I have to say Oprah. You know what I mean? Like, she is the staple. She is the one.
00:50But, you know, my peers as well. Like, women like you, everybody who's out here trying to get it, they keep me motivated.
00:55I would have to say Maya Angelou.
00:58I think about Harriet Tubman, you know, who led slaves and just took on that responsibility and how strong she was and confident and fearless, you know, in a time like that.
