NOTABLE SPEECHES |
UN SPEECH (2018) Excerpts: 1 "Maybe I made a mistake yesterday, but yesterday’s me is still me. I am who I am today, with all my faults. Tomorrow I might be a tiny bit wiser, and that’s me, too. These faults and mistakes are what I am, making up the brightest stars in the constellation of my life. I have come to love myself for who I was, who I am, and who I hope to become" 2 "I would like to ask all of you. What is your name? What excites you and makes your heart beat? Tell me your story.
