In her first appearance since disclosing that she had her ovaries removed, Angelina Jolie had a great time on a Saturday night out with her daughters at the Nickelodeon Kids’ Choice Awards.
Angelina won Favorite Villain for her work in Maleficent, and the gorgeous diva was seen beaming and receiving a bear embrace from Shiloh, 8, and Zahara, 10.
During her remarks at the event, the 39-year-old actress, who is inspiring, shared her experience of feeling like an outsider with the young audience as well as her daughters, Shiloh and Zahara. Like Maleficent, she claimed to have been told as a child that she was unique. But then I understood that being unique is beneficial. Thus, perhaps you don’t belong. Be unique. And remember to smile, keep your head up, and feel proud of yourself when someone tells you that you are unique.
With a smirk, the actress said, “And as your villain, I would suggest, “Cause a little trouble.” It is beneficial to you.”
The movie actor wrote an article that appeared on the New York Times website on Monday night.She talked about how a cancer scare had caused her to decide to have her ovaries removed.
She wrote in the incredibly intimate essay that she would never be able to have children and that she had been told to expect “physical changes” following the operation, even with the hormone replacements she is taking.
The piece, headlined Angelina Jolie Pitt: Diary Of A Surgery, was released two years after the actress revealed in an opinion piece that she had undergone a double mastectomy in order to delay the development of breast cancer.”I experienced what I believe thousands of other women have experienced,” the woman wrote. “I reminded myself to remain composed, to be resilient, and that there was no reason to believe I wouldn’t live to see my kids grow up and meet my grandkids.”
She went on to describe her surgery, the after affects, and the fact that she was still “prone to cancer” since “it is not possible to remove all risk.”
But because this is a fact of life, not because I am strong, I feel comfortable with whatever comes next, she said in her conclusion. There is no need to be afraid.In her final remarks, the Oscar-winning actress urged women in similar circumstances to take charge just as she had by supporting preventative care.
“Making these decisions is not easy,” she said. However, you may take charge and address any health condition head-on.
You can ask for guidance, educate yourself on your alternatives, and make decisions that are best for you. Power comes from knowledge.
