I want to give a huge thank you to time for recognizing the role of women and women leaders in this movement. So thank you. Good example and it gives us hope and reminds us that hope is the starting line. You can feel hopeful at the starting line, but you got to run this race. And so throughout my life into action, now I'm going to be honest with you, it is not always easy to do that. It wasn't easy growing up in New Orleans and chilling. The enduring impacts of segregation in the community where I went to school and where I at 10 to church, it isn't easy and wasn't easy decades later. When Hurricane Katrina, destroy the home. I grew up in in the homes of my neighbors and I saw those impacts raise his rear their ugly head once again. And today is clear to all of us that the consequences of inaction, reach far beyond the single life with single place or a single disaster. Time. And again the communities hurt most are the ones who raised the alarm for years. But their voices have been ignored. But we cannot afford to ignore or to forget or to put our faith in the idea that progress is inevitable and the next generation will do better. Personally, I feel like the most hope I get, is in rooms, like this one rooms of people who challenge themselves and challenge me to realize hopes potential with action, with urgent action. I was hopeful that the EPA when we said clean their standards and we reduced emissions and made environmental justice, a key priority. And I am hopeful at Apple because we're carbon-neutral today. And with our plan, Apple, 2034 making every Apple product carbon-neutral by the end of this decade. So we do have hope but more importantly, we have a plan hope with urgency hope with action. Earlier I talked about being at the starting line but if you look around this room, let's see. You're laughing. You're right. I think it's pretty clear. We left the starting blocks a long time ago. The race is underway, we are running it. Now is the time to continue to push each other challenge, one another and build a future. We can all be proud of. Thank you so much for this award. Thank you for everything you do. ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"Lisa P.
