00:00Anlita, welcome to Latin Women in Music.
00:03Today you are one of our winners.
00:06And we are going to give you a prize for the Vanguard Award.
00:09Yes.
00:10It's hard to say.
00:12What does a nightlight tonight mean to you?
00:15I think it's true.
00:17In Spanish, in English.
00:19I think it's very important for us, for women.
00:25It's important to have a night for women.
00:28It's important for all the society.
00:30The difference in which we are still being treated.
00:33The difference in the day-to-day, not only in the industry,
00:36but in all the phases of life,
00:38women face different differences of treatment and inequality.
00:43So, to have a night for women is very important.
00:47What you said in the story with my friend Isabella,
00:49when you interviewed your documentary, Larissa,
00:52on Netflix, that you wanted to make the people,
00:56women, I imagine, would be able to relate to you.
00:59Yes.
01:00Even though it seems like a perfect life,
01:01you want them to be able to relate to you,
01:03because you've hustled for this.
01:05You've created your opportunities.
01:07Why is it important for people to relate to you?
01:09I think...
01:11I think...
01:12I think...
01:13I wanted to feel like people,
01:14because today I think with social networks,
01:18everyone is glamourizing everything,
01:21thinking that the life of influencers, famous, rich,
01:26is incredible.
01:27In fact, it's not so much like that.
01:30I think we're in a moment of life where we value a lot of money,
01:37the fame, the behavior in society,
01:40but I think it's not so much time to need influence,
01:45to never stop, or to success.
01:49Now I think we need influence of people who look inside,
01:53who relaxes well with themselves, with their family, with their interior,
01:58because we're valuing a lot of things material,
02:01and a little bit of who we are inside, you know?
02:04So, with this, everything is changing,
02:07a very plastic world.
02:08And I think that's how I wanted people to feel like me,
02:13how to relate to this,
02:15because I'm human too,
02:17all the famous people are,
02:18all the fuck,
02:19all the fuck,
02:20all the fuck,
02:21all the fuck,
02:22all the fuck,
02:23all the fuck,
02:24all the fuck,
02:25all the fuck,
02:26all the fuck,
02:27what's next,
02:30what's the plan,
02:32and trust,
02:33follow your heart,
02:34follow your intuition,
02:35how life-changing has that been,
02:37for you to be able to now do that?
02:39Oh, amazing.
02:41Because,
02:42I feel that with the years,
02:44we are so pressured to deliver,
02:47to be a success.
02:48As I said,
02:49there are so many,
02:50so many people,
02:52and influence,
02:54and examples of successful people,
02:57people that made,
02:59they won,
03:00they went for it.
03:02But,
03:03there are not examples,
03:04examples,
03:05of people,
03:06of people,
03:07of people,
03:08who say,
03:09okay,
03:10it's okay to give up,
03:12it's okay to,
03:13okay,
03:14I've done everything,
03:15I've done millions,
03:17I don't need billions,
03:18I'm fine with the billions,
03:20I'm fine with the billions,
03:21and everything is fine,
03:22I think no,
03:23I think the industry,
03:24the society,
03:25the mechanism,
03:27the system,
03:28it needs to,
03:29that everyone thinks,
03:30that we need more,
03:31more money,
03:32more things,
03:33more houses,
03:34more cars,
03:35and really,
03:36we don't need it,
03:37we can be more calm,
03:39you know,
03:40and,
03:41I think this is the importance,
03:42for me,
03:43in my life,
03:44at this moment,
03:45we're very used to seeing people saying,
03:47never give up,
03:48never give up,
03:49and then,
03:50we feel like,
03:51if one day we wanna give up,
03:52we're weak,
03:53we're bad,
03:54we don't belong.
03:55And I disagree,
03:56I think it's totally okay,
03:58to give up,
03:59it's totally okay,
04:00to rest,
04:01to take some time,
04:03to breathe,
04:04to be with your family,
04:05to look inside,
04:06I think that's really okay,
04:08I think,
04:09today,
04:10with all this pressure,
04:11for being more,
04:12and more,
04:13este es el verdadero,
04:14la ostentacion,
04:15the real rich,
04:17is people who have time,
04:19and,
04:20have the courage,
04:21to slow down.
04:22Yeah.
04:23That's the real power.
04:24I am so empowered by Yanni,
04:25right now.
04:26Me too.
04:27I'm like, wow.
04:28Yo te admiro muchísimo,
04:29aparte,
04:30te hice la portada,
04:31hace dos años,
04:32para Billboard,
04:33y te conocí más,
04:34y entendi que eres una mujer,
04:35muy poderosa,
04:36no solamente,
04:37obviamente,
04:38por lo que representas,
04:39pero quien eres,
04:40y que ayudas a los demás,
04:41and I really admire your career.
04:43I think it's really important,
04:44I mean,
04:45I don't believe we're here,
04:46just to make more money,
04:47and to be more successful,
04:48and famous.
04:49We're here to share,
04:51and to make some good,
04:52to the society,
04:53there are so many people watching us,
04:55we should do something good about it,
04:56not only,
04:57fulfill more our ego,
04:59and more and more,
05:00we should,
05:01spread good things,
05:02for everybody to win.
