Empower women to go beyond beauty, selfies, says AnistonRome, July 25 (AZINS) Actress Jennifer Aniston, who was presented with a Lifetime Achievement Award at the Giffoni Film Fest in Italy, spoke about women empowerment and emphasised on the need to have conversations.

When asked how Hollywood can work to tell the stories of women, Aniston encouraged the young writers in the room to get to work and start writing those stories, reports hollywoodreporter.com.

"I think we need to empower women to not just be about dresses and beauty and selfies. We need to start having conversations and put our phones down and get out of social media, take social media brakes," Aniston said.

"That is why we are not seeing the right stories being told, because everyone is stuck in their phones," she added.
