Natalie Portman has captivated audiences since she was 12 years old — Oscar winner, Harvard graduate, global activist, co-founder of Angel City FC, and a woman who has never once followed anyone else's script. 

In this conversation with hosts Martin Luther King III, Arndrea Waters King, Marc Kielburger, and Craig Kielburger, Natalie is joined by her plus one — Lawrence Yanovich, one of her oldest friends and the man who first took her to Uganda, Ecuador, and Guatemala to witness microfinance changing women's lives from the ground up. Together they explore what it means to use your platform, your resources, and your relationships to build a better world. 

Together, they reveal how: 

• What you say no to defines you more than what you say yes to 

• Uncertainty isn't the enemy of hope 

• Great leaders get the right people in the room 

• Rigid gender roles don't just limit women
