Amy Poehler is known for her comedic genius as the wonderful, quirky star of NBC's Parks and Recreation, as well as being a regular on SNL for nine years, among many, many equally hilarious movies.
Besides being basically the funniest woman to grace this planet, she is an inspiring role model for so many people.
Here are ten reasons why Amy Poehler is a goddess:
1. She's BFFs with Tina Fey.
You have to admit that this duo is the envy of every girl group.
2. She gave us Leslie Knope.
An icon for every female government employee and a reminder that girl-power is the best power.
3. She's hilarious.
Can you say "Mean Girls?" "Baby Mama?" How about "Sisters?"
4. She can do anything and everything.
She is a writer, a producer, an actress, a philanthropist.
5. She supports young female comedians.
Ever seen "Broad City?" Ilana Glazer and Abbi Jacobson give us the ultimate funny-girl show, all thanks to Amy Poehler.
6. She supports females in general.
Amy Poehler's Smart Girls is dedicated to helping young people by creating a place for them to be their true selves.
7. She has played Hillary Clinton more than once.
And rocked it.
8. She's not afraid to speak her mind.
No matter the topic.
9. She still did SNL while she was pregnant.
Like really pregnant.
10. She's unapologetically herself.
And that's why we love her.
