 when you're growing up and you're a kid coming from an immigrant family and you're watching people on TV that don't look like you succeed but then you see one person that looks like you succeed and it gives you reality to your dreams it's like a bridge like oh shit she could do it I could do it she's brown on brown I could do it too. She kind of set the tone as to what I wanted to be in terms of she's an incredible career in pop music in film in television in fashion she's such a feminist trailblazer and I am so inspired by her and so honored to be here tonight to see her perform. I love her I love her career and I would say there's not a land artist that is gonna say that she's not huge she's huge and she deserves all the things that happen in her life and her career. I feel like J-Lo did a lot of things that people told her that she couldn't do and she did it anyway and that's kind of what I live by. I have never seen a more committed dancer and performer in my life and as a Broadway performer and dancer myself I'm giving you the like it's always so like you know J-Lo's got hips so like she makes it she's like so she speaks out about that and like she like really shows off her body and like shows her confidence and that's something I admire a lot. Jennifer Lopez for me as an actor and a singer was always someone that I looked up to that could do both but like to the extreme level and she's such a performer like there's there's nothing better than someone that can do it all and she's one of those people. Yo actually J-Lo inspired me because growing up my dance teacher used to like literally like replicate all her stuff and like so I she learned from J-Lo I learned from her so basically I learned from J-Lo. She started from nothing you know I mean so I think anybody could relate to that like starting out with nothing and making it as huge as she is you know I mean so it's congratulations to her for that. I have big moments with J-Lo super excited for tonight I wrote one of her biggest records ain't it funny the remix so I'm so excited that she's winning tonight I can't wait to see her perform she's definitely been an inspiration just fashion wise and just you know being a woman mogul so very excited about that.
