“It is so wonderful to be here. It is actually my second time DJing at the United Nations so I must be doing something right…I would not be standing here if not for my education and I may not seem that cool right now may be due to a couple of youth delegates. But I’ve made some pretty lady moves in my career.
“I’ve interned for Jay Zee, I’ve been on the Forbes 30 under 30 twice, and filmed MTV cribs but the coolest thing I’ve done by far is speaking to all of you today.”
