Pink’s speech about daughter Willow - 2017
Pink really is one of the best people ever and she further proved it with a speech for her Video Vanguard Award. She recounted how her daughter came up to her one day feeling a little less than special and the sage advice that she shared with her. Here’s an excerpt:
“But then I said, ‘You know, I really want to know why you feel this way about yourself.’ And she said, ‘Well I look like a boy,’ and I said, ‘Well what do you think I look like?’ And she said, ‘Well you’re beautiful.’ And I was like, ‘Well, thanks. But when people make fun of me, that’s what they use. They say I look like a boy or I’m too masculine or I have too many opinions, my body is too strong. So, baby girl. We don’t change. We take the gravel and the shell and we make a pearl. And we help other people to change so they can see more kinds of beauty.’”
