‘You can be the architect of your story’

Reese Witherspoon, who was a nominee for her acting work in Big Little Lies, hopes the show's Emmys wins help girls know “you can be the architect of your own story”.

The 41-year-old actress took home an Emmy for her role as executive producer on the HBO mini-series, took to the stage with a message of female empowerment and continued that message at the after parties.

In a recent interview at 2017 Emmys party, she said, “So proud. I set out four years ago to start a company to create better roles for women in Hollywood and to have four nominations tonight for women's performances is extraordinary.”  

Adding, “That's the way you change things, is change through art and expression. I want little girls out there to know that you can be the architect of your own story, you can be a storyteller, you can be a director, you can be a writer, you can be a producer, you can be anything.”  

The Wild star also gave a strong message to all the ladies out there by saying that “women are unstoppable”. —ANI
