Sending big thanks to Mindy Kaling and #EmmaThompson , because catching “Late Night Movie” on the flight from #Dubai to #DC inspired me to KILL during my duties as #emcee for The Aspen Institute #NewVoices Fellowship Program last night. I mean, I’ve always thought I was kind of funny, but I’ve never really given myself permission to show that side in formal settings. And since I'm slightly older than the character Thompson played in the movie, I could relate to that Golden Years angst about women and humor, about whether we can stay relevant with the young crowd. What can I say except...I. SLAY. ALL. DAY. Mostly because I was so awed and energized by the amazing stories of perseverance, strength and profound epiphanies that were shared by the Fellows. I was so inspired by their honest revelations, it freed me to go with my flow. There's nothing like watching really smart, really funny women take control of a room, like Thompson did in “Late Night.” That's what I was able to do last night. It felt marvelous! #womenemcees #WomenInFilm #standupforyourrights #LateNightMovie #CenterStage #openmic #humor #makeemlaugh …see more
