Hillary Clinton tells women that living their intentions is the best form of revenge
Samantha Grasso
Watch Clinton fire up a room of women at co-working collective the Wing.
Hillary Clinton is still serving up the inspirational quotes piping hot, and a recent appearance at womens co-working space the Wing shows that young women are still enamored by her presence. In an Instagram post on Sunday, the Wing shared some of the magic from last weeks speaking event with the former Democratic presidential candidate.
Its actually the best form of revenge, Clinton begins, inciting knowing laughter from the crowd of 400 women, by making it clear, you are not going to be stopped, you are not going to be disrespected, you are not going to be undermined. You are going to be who you intend to be.

As many an inspirational, women-centric event recap videos do, the Instagram post, hitting more than 18,000 views over the past 18 hours, shows slowed-down, panning shots of women excitedly conversing before the event, revealing glimpses of the Wings unbelievably trendy New York City working space. More chilling and emotional are the shots of women just staring warmly or smiling directly with teeth bared at Clintons general presence, projecting a genuine mix of joy and wonder. Ahh, what could have been.
According to the Cut, co-founder Audrey Gelman, who interviewed Clinton at the event with Call Your Girlfriend podcast host Aminatou Sow, launched the Wing in 2016 just weeks before the presidential election. As a women-only membership-based co-working space, the Wing has since opened two more locations in New York, one in Washington D.C., and plans to open in six other locations: London, Toronto, Brooklyn, L.A., San Francisco, and Seattle.

(37,428 posts)...as it cheapens the empowerment in the air of 2018. Clinton is awesome and can still lead us, if we'll listen as well as she has over the years. If voting Dem just feels like getting even, well, that won't last. Living our intentions should one day be the norm, not mere comeuppance.
