At Variety's Power of Women event in Los Angeles this week, Jennifer Aniston shared a story about being harshly shut down by an adult when she was 11.
"I remember a parental figure saying to me around the critical age of about 11, after a dinner party, that I was excused from the table because I didn’t have anything interesting to add to the conversation. Ouch. It stuck to me, it stuck to me like painfully worded sentences can and if I’m being honest—and I’m being honest because I’m 50 and that comes with the territory—I carried that sentence with me into adulthood.
"I always felt incredibly comfortable giving a voice to the words of others but put me in a table full of strangers and I’d go right back to being 11 years old.", she added that she's recently found herself thinking more and more about the messages we send to young girls about power: "These last two years have really made me think a lot about the messages we send young kids—little girls especially. How the things we say and do can either build them up—or tear them down. And make them feel like maybe their voices don’t matter.
"I started meeting all of these people who expressed to me how much the show meant to them—how it lifted their spirits during a bad breakup or got them through an illness. I was just so incredibly moved by that."
