00:03I love all of you. This is like a prestigious room, my God, it's all these fabulous people.
00:11I always say when I wake up every morning, I could do better and make it an easier world for
00:17black women. Madam C.J. Walker, that's right, being in her surroundings, her place, and I've
00:24watched so many things about this woman and to see her do what she did, it scared a lot
00:29of white folks because she was so powerful. All of us women in this room are on her shoulders
00:36and I thank you, darling, wherever you are and I know you can hear us all celebrate you.
00:42I'm 81 years young and I'm still learning and just seeing all the accomplishments that
00:50you ladies have made on your own. Girl, you're going to make me just feel like I'm 10 because
00:57I'm going to continue to strive. God, I just want to thank Rich and Essence for you to have
01:05called Zori to say, would your mother come and get this reward? Women, we're doing it for
01:12ourselves. God bless you all and thank you for everything, everything. Thank you all. Bye-bye.
