The incredibly talented actor, producer, and director gave an inspiring speech to teen girls about overcoming stereotypes and labels.
In case you don't know yet, Elizabeth Banks is an all-around *badass*. Not only is she insanely talented on the big screen, she's also a BOSS behind the scenes.
She's the co-founder of Brownstone Productions (along with her husband Max Handelman), which produced Pitch Perfect — and she also made her feature directorial debut this year with Pitch Perfect 2.

"Specifically for the last 15 years, I think I've been in this box that just said, 'Cute blond actress, kind of funny, small boobs,'" Banks explained. So, like any boss lady, she decided to change that: "On top of acting, I started producing and directing because I knew I had more to offer an industry that clearly didn't expect too much from me."
