00:00 To be here tonight, of course, I'm very, very, very grateful.
00:05 That's why I had to also exert some effort.
00:07 So I flew from Madrid just to be here tonight
00:10 because I feel like these kinds of events,
00:13 recognitions or awards, it doesn't happen like every day.
00:18 I mean, it was a little bit of hassle for me
00:21 because I just left for Madrid last February 1
00:24 and I had to come back for this.
00:25 But I was like, this is no longer gonna be
00:28 like this next year.
00:30 There will be different people.
00:31 So I should enjoy it, be proud of it
00:35 and just be here tonight.
00:38 For me, influence means just being myself.
00:40 You see me on TikTok, I'm the same person in real life.
00:43 You see me in real life, I'm the same person on TikTok.
00:46 For me, that's influence because being fake is so easy,
00:50 but showing the world who you are,
00:52 being authentic everywhere,
00:54 because not everyone is ready to accept authenticity
00:58 because it's hard to be yourself.
00:59 But my personal belief is that if I don't fit in,
01:02 I'm gonna create my own table and invite people to join me.
01:05 Good question.
01:07 I think it really depends on culture.
01:10 For me, based on my experience,
01:12 I am very into health and fitness,
01:14 and which means I love going to the beach, I love surfing.
01:18 So there was a time in my life when people said,
01:21 I built my company because I wear bikinis.
01:23 So I think people need to stop thinking that.
01:25 A woman doesn't need to be just sexy, pretty.
01:28 We can be everything, sexy, pretty, smart.
01:31 So we need to stop thinking that.
01:33 Just because a woman looks good,
01:35 it doesn't mean she can't think
01:37 and she doesn't have a brain.
