## Transcript

First of all, I got to say I love this award. I'm so so happy. So thank you so much, too. Time for this amazing, amazing on tonight. Thank you. Thank you. Actors, tell stories through characters they bring to life on screen. So it is truly, truly moving to be recognized for the impact. My own story has made Honestly. All that still feels like. It can't really be happening. I spent so many years struggling to find work. Going to meetings hoping to convince producers and filmmakers to give me a chance to give me a job. And oftentimes wondering why I never got the call and, and what I could have done differently.

Let me tell you it's it's not a good feeling, okay? It's hard. To chase a dream when it feels like it might be slipping away. So the idea that one day I'd be called and inspiration is it's more than I could have ever hoped for I am meant. I think I still have moments of doubt. I still wonder if I deserve all of that. Then I meet someone who has been affected by my story and I just feel blessed. All the struggles that I had was worth it. If it Inspire, just one person and I asked, and I couldn't be more thankful that it has so many. I have people stopped me on the street with tears, in their eyes, telling me that I help them.

Two-way traffic on time. Now I help keep them going. It means so much to me, because there were many many times. My life why I needed that exact same encouragement and inspiration. And all I can tell them is that I bought them. I watch them. I know what they were going for. You know what did it doesn't matter whether you're in the film industry, you an activist and Ashley a schoolteacher or even if you just dreaming for a better job for a better life, Whatever you're fighting for please remember change doesn't happen in a day. Sometimes. It takes more than 20 years. The, the Oscars really changed.

Everything for me do was open that I never thought I would be able to walk through. I didn't have to go to a meeting to win a job, filmmakers would look into work with me. Can you believe that me you were looking to work with me? I think credible. And tonight, another door has opened. I am so honored to be part of a community of people who are doing, just great and amazing things to help the world. I want to continue to be an inspiration. I want to open those doors for other people. I cannot believe that you need. I am on and I want to bring as many people as I can along with me. This. This hasn't been a happy ending to my story.

This. Has been a happy new beginning. And just like, all of you. I cannot wait to see Waco's next. Thank you so much. Thank you for your Manda. Thank you once again to time for this and I love you all. Thank you.
