Last night Amy Schumer took home the Trailblazer award at the 2015 Glamour Awards, and her acceptance speech is about as perfect as you might expect. Schumer jokes about losing her teeth late, getting her period early, and being able to “catch a dick†at 160 pounds, but she also folded in some great insight about being a woman in the spotlight:
“Glamour has given me a voice, no joke. The first time I told this story about me going home with a guy freshman year of college … I thought he was calling me during the day to hang out, but then it turned out that he had been out all night and he was in a blackout. And I told that story about just losing your self-esteem and then just finding it and being like “No, I’m not going to apologize for who I am, and I’m actually gonna love the skin that I’m in and not be striving for some other version of myself.â€
