Amy Shumer is hilarious and like a lot of funny people, she’s smart too. Her show is VERY funny but after seeing it, the last thing you might expect is her introspective piece about self-worth. Here’s an excerpt – you can read the whole thing here… and then you can laugh your ass off watching the clip.
“…I want to throw my hands in the air, after reading a mean Twitter comment, and say, ‘All right! You got it. You figured me out. I’m not pretty. I’m not thin. I do not deserve to use my voice. I’ll start wearing a burqa and start waiting tables at a pancake house. All my self-worth is based on what you can see.’ But then I think, Fuck that. I am not laying in that freshman year bed anymore ever again. I am a woman with thoughts and questions and shit to say. I say if I’m beautiful. I say if I’m strong. You will not determine my story — I will. I will speak and share and fuck and love and I will never apologize to the frightened millions who resent that they never had it in them to do it. I stand here and I am amazing, for you…”
