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.
