I can't thank Glamour magazine enough and Conde Nast and Cindi for asking me to be here. You just made this night so amazing. These incredible, inspiring women are doing so many things to change how we perceive women, and I hope Amy Schumer and all the other nominees that when you consider making your biopic, you'll give me the rights first, which would be great. Although Amy, I'll have to play your grandmother in the movie (by Hollywood standards), and you'll probably have to play your own mother.
I want everybody to close their eyes and think of a dirty word, like a really dirty word. Now open your eyes. Was any of your words ambition? I didn't think so. See, I just kind of started wondering lately why female ambition is a trait that people are so afraid of. Why do people have prejudiced opinions about women who accomplish things? Why is that perceived as a negative? In a study by Georgetown University in 2005, a group of professors asked candidates to evaluate male efficient versus female efficient in politicians. Respondents
were less likely to vote for power-seeking women than power-seeking men. They also perceived ambitious women as looking out for themselves. They even reported ambitious women as provoking feelings of disgust.

Now, in my life I have always found more comfort in being the underdog. Whether people thought I couldn't do something or they said it was impossible, I always rose to the challenge. I enjoyed reaching for the impossible. I remember when I was 18 years old and applying to
colleges, I had this male college counselor, and he said, "Don't even bother applying to Stanford, sweetie. Your SAT scores aren't good enough." But I did it anyway, and I got in. (But it wasn't because of my SAT scores!
But I was flabbergasted. This was 2012, and it made no sense to me. Where was our Sally Field in Norma Rae or Sigourney Weaver in Alien or Goldie Hawn in, you name it, any Goldie Hawn movie: Overboard, Wildcats, Private Benjamin? These women shaped my idea of what it meant to be a woman of strength and character and humor in this world. And my beautiful, intelligent daughter, who is 16 years old now, would not grow up idolizing that same group of women.
Instead, she'd be forced to watch a chorus of talented, accomplished women Saran wrapped into tight leather pants, tottering along on very cute, but completely impractical, shoes turn to a male lead and ask breathlessly, "What do we do now?!" Seriously, I'm not kidding. Go
back and watch any movie, and you'll see this line over and over. I love to ask questions, but it's my most hated question.
I dread reading scripts that have no women involved in their creation because inevitably I get to that part where the girl turns to the guy, and she says, "What do we do now?!" Do you know any woman in any crisis situation who has absolutely no idea what to do? I mean, don't they tell people in crisis, even children, "If you're in trouble, talk to a woman." It's ridiculous that a woman wouldn't know what to do.
So, anyway, after going to these studios and telling people about how there's barely any female leads in films and the industry's in crisis, people were aghast. "That's horrible," they said. And then they changed the subject and moved on with their dinner and moved on with
their lives. But I could not change the subject. I couldn't turn to some man and say, "What do we do now?" This is my life.
I've made movies all my life, for 25 years, since I was 14 years old. It was time to turn to myself and say, "OK, Reese, what are we going to do now?" The answer was very clear. My mother, who is here tonight, a very strong, smart Southern woman, said to me, "If you want something done, honey, do it yourself."
So, I started my own production company, Pacific Standard Films, with the mission to tell stories about women. And I was nervous, y'all. I was spending my own money, which everyone in the movie business always tells you, "Don't spend your own money on anything." I was warned that on the crazy chance Pacific Standard would acquire any good scripts we would never make it past our first few years in business because there just wasn't a market for buying female-driven material. But like Elle Woods, I do not like to be underestimated.
I'm a very avid reader. In fact, I'm a complete book nerd. So is my producing partner, so we tore through tons of manuscripts and read so many things before they were published, but we could only find two pieces of material that we thought were right. We optioned them with our own money, and we prayed that they would work. Both had strong, complicated, fascinating women at the center and both were written by women. And lo and behold, both books hit number one on the New York Times bestsellers list. One is called Gone Girl, and the second is called Wild. So we made those two films last year, and those two films rose to over half a billion dollars world wide and we got three Academy Award nominations for women in acting performances. So that is year one. Against the odds, Pacific Standard has had a year two and year three. We bought five more bestselling books.
I think we are in a culture crisis in every field. In every industry, women are underrepresented and underpaid in leadership positions. Under 5 percent of CEOs of fortune 500 companies are women. Only 19 percent of Congress is women. No wonder we don't have the health care we deserve or paid family leave or public access to early childhood education. That really worries me. How can we expect legislation or our needs to be served if we don't have equal representation? So here's my hope: If you're in politics, media, the tech industry, or working as an entrepreneur or a teacher or a construction worker or a caregiver, you know the problems we are all facing.
I urge each one of you to ask yourselves: What do we do now? That's a big question. What is it in life that you think you can't accomplish? Or what is it that people have said that you cannot do? Wouldn't it feel really good to prove them all wrong? Because I believe ambition is not a dirty word. It's just believing in yourself and your abilities. Imagine this: What would happen if we were all brave enough to be a little bit more ambitious? I think the world would change.
Hi speech lovers,
With costs of hosting website and podcast, this labour of love has become a difficult financial proposition in recent times. If you can afford a donation, it will help Speakola survive and prosper.
According to ESPN, which also spoke to Reese at length for its story, one general manager anonymously said of the 21-year-old's draft stock: "Some of the stuff she does is disrespectful to the game. The dirty play hurts her for sure."
ESPN published those comments less than two weeks after Reese's involvement in a tense SEC Tournament final against South Carolina. During the first quarter of that contest, Reese tangled with Kamilla Cardoso, at one point appearing to pull the Gamecocks post player's hair and at another moment receiving an intentional foul whistle for a hit to her rival's face.
And Reese notably stayed out of the fray in the fourth quarter as Cardoso, Flau'Jae Johnson and others scrapped on the court. Her decision to avoid the fracas prompted praise from basketball legend Shaquille O'Neal, who has taken on a mentorship role for the Baltimore native.
"I called her and I said, 'You did the right thing,'" O'Neal said via FOX of his reaction to the LSU-South Carolina situation. "'Trust me, you did the right thing, because if you would have went out there, they would have been looking for you. You and [Kamilla] Cardoso get into a shoving match. She's already ejected. Can't play in the next round. That would have happened to you. It would have been all your fault.' So, she did the right thing. Kudos to her."
For the most part, Reese's college career has included plenty of trash talk but minimal hand-to-hand combat running afoul of game regulations. The incident that arguably led to the most backlash was her taunt of Caitlin Clark at last year's NCAA Tournament final - but no dirty acts accompanied it. Clark has said she took no offense.
Additionally, Reese is far from the only women's college basketball player picking up intentional fouls. Even Clark, the projected No. 1 overall pick in 2024, was disciplined this season for what opponent Purdue Fort Wayne described as a "two-hand push."

Reese has one more year of college eligibility and has not announced whether she will declare for the 2024 WNBA Draft. If she does jump to the professional ranks, she will likely be selected in the top 10 despite at least one general manager having reservations about her on-court antics.
Reese may wait until after the 2024 NCAA Tournament to announce a final decision on her future. LSU won its first-round game over Rice even as head coach Kim Mulkey described "selfishness" throughout the squad. The Tigers will try to put on an improved performance in the second round against Middle Tennessee.
My fiance had not had her vehicle detailed in some time, so I was tasked to bring it in and perform a quick detail to knock off some dirt and grime. One main area to highlight here is the wheels and tires. They were extremely dirty and needed a thorough cleaning to bring them back to life. Below you will find the cleaning process performed on these wheels and tires, along with photos and a list of each item used along the way.
I started off targeting the tires and pulled out the Tuf Shine Tire Cleaner and Tuf Shine Tire Brush. I sprayed the wet tire with full coverage and let the Tire Cleaner dwell for 30 seconds. I then scrubbed with the Tuf Shine Tire Brush and rinsed the surface clean with a garden hose. I repeated these steps a few times until the suds of the cleaner stopped turning brown when scrubbing. 152ee80cbc
