Amidst all the celebration, Mila addressed the controversy of the group not accepting women until recently, saying she was “honored” to be named woman of the year “during the year of change” for the group.
“I think its happening. I think that putting women in a higher position in the workplace will change the world," she said. "It’s been statistically proven. As long as we keep moving forward with that as our no. 1 position, then everything will happen.”
