On Wednesday, Christine Blasey Ford accepted an empowerment award from the YWCA Silicon Valley for apparently accusing Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh in 2018 of decades-old, uncorroborated sexual misconduct.

“I’m deeply humbled to receive this award,” Blasey Ford said while accepting the award, according to The Hill. “It’s funny. I was inspired by Anita Hill when I was deciding whether to testify, but it didn’t occur to me at the time that I would be inspiring anyone else.”
