- it is not lost on me that at this moment, there are some little girls watching as i become the first black woman to be given this same award. [cheers and applause] for too long, women have not be heard or believed if they dared to speak their truth to the power of those men, but their time is up. a new day is on the horizon. when nobody ever has to say, "me too." again. thank you. - yes, we can! [laughter] am i the only one who had that feeling? no? yeah, it feels like this is oprah 2020, come on. i will say i can see how oprah seems like the perfect opponent for donald trump. i mean, she's everything that he's not. she's black, she's a woman, she likes to read. they're the complete opposite.

- mm. - organizers have dubbed it "power to the polls." - it's a push to get women to register to vote and to run for office in november's midterm elections. - we're really encouraging people to go vote in november of 2018. - kelly fowler marched in last year's rally, and was so inspired, she decided to run for state office in virginia and won. - last year, i marched. then i ran.

to become a part of the voting process. which is not normal for most young people. do you think that's a sign of the times we're living in? - yes. i mean, it's always been who i am. i've always been excited to vote. and, like, when i was four, i had asked my grandfather if he'd be my roommate in college because i was already looking forward to being in college. - when you were four? - yes, um-- i've always been one to plan ahead. - yeah, that's way ahead. - and so--i mean, i think being 18, it's like, okay, cool. i'm an adult and everything. but i can finally vote and i think what's really exciting is that i will be able to vote during midterms and midterms determines how we redistrict. and being able to vote while we figure out how we are redistricting means that in 2020, we're gonna have a few things figured out, hopefully. - do you--do you think enough young people will come out and vote? i know you have an initiative that you're trying to inspire young people to come out. - right, yeah, so it is called 18 by 18, for obvious reasons, but i think a really big part of what this election proved is just how young people vote

and also, with everything happening in virginia and alabama, we see that people are not only willing to vote for first-time candidates, but there are first-time voters finally coming out. - right. - and a lot of the issue that i personally see with how we educate this generation is as though we don't have to have a political opinion until it's time to vote. - uh-huh. - and so we inherit this system that we have no idea about and we have no clue how it properly functions. and so we theoretically vote based on ideology, with no backup for why we support certain ideologies and really, no correlation between how our passions translate into policy change. - right. - and so to be able to create a platform in which it can easily spell that out, and for us to be able to truly take control of this political system, i feel like is really important. ♪ [thinking] want thesmexican spices?
