What happened

WOMAN OF THE YEAR | Celeste Ntuli is that girl!

Why it matters

The 1995 women’s empowerment anthem Just a Girl is one of Gwen Stefani’s most memorable songs with her band No Doubt.

Common ground

Over 30 years after Stefani belted out “Oh, I’m just a girl, take a good look at me”, those lyrics still ring true to the winner of Headliner of the Year at the 2026 Savanna Comics’ Choice Comedy Awards, Celeste Ntuli.

Perspective signals

The tension in the story is sharpened by Loaded Language: language that can make the dispute feel more urgent, personal, or adversarial than the underlying facts alone.
