Kardashian joins elite speaker list
SAN FRANCISCO — Kim Kardashian is joining a prestigious list that includes Teddy Roosevelt, Martin Luther King Jr., Dwight D. Eisenhower, Bill Clinton and Bill Gates.
The 34-year-old reality star is set to speak to San Francisco’s venerable Commonwealth Club next week to discuss her new book of selfies and her famous family.
Also on the agenda, says the Commonwealth website, is “the business of millennial culture” and “the objectification of women in media.”
Kardashian’s appearance is sponsored by Glu Mobile Inc., the San Francisco-based video game company that made her megahit mobile game, Kim Kardashian: Hollywood.
Founded in 1903, the Commonwealth Club bills itself as the oldest and largest U.S. public-affairs forum, dedicated to impartial discussion of public issues.
