Get the Full StoryJennifer Lopez has been named Adweek s 2021 Brand Visionary and she covers their latest issue.

Well, I m in awe of Jennifer s effect on Ben. She totally destroyed the Dunkin -lovin , chain-smoking, butt crack flashing, package fumbling Ben!

Here are Ben s exact words, via Adweek:

All I can tell you is that I have seen firsthand the difference representation makes because I have seen, over and over and over and over, women of color approach Jennifer and tell her what her example as a strong woman and a woman succeeding and demanding her fair share in the business world means to them, notes actor director Ben Affleck.

I am in awe of what Jennifer s effect on the world is. At most, as an artist, I can make movies that move people. Jennifer has inspired a massive group of people to feel they have a seat at the table in this country. That is an effect few people throughout history have had, one I will never know and one I can only stand by and admire with respect.

Trying to think about which Ben Affleck movies have moved me Good Will Hunting, I guess? The 2004 masterpiece Surviving Christmas?

The Adweek article goes on to discuss talks JLo s role as a brand ambassador. She says she was partnering with companies like L Or al and Louis Vuitton at a time when other real artists weren t doing that kind of thing. Pioneer!

Jen explains that artists, especially females, are always told they re disposable and they re gonna be replaced by younger models, but she s realized, no there s only one me.

JLo adds:

I am the scarce asset somebody who is a proven creator, artist and entrepreneur who has an ability to really connect with people. That is my blessing, and what I feel is an incredible, incredible gift that I ve been given from God. And I don t take it for granted. I cherish it and try to use it in the best way that I always can.

Ya hear that, ladies? I am the scarce asset is the new lean in! Girlboss Goalz!
