00:27crazy. And to hear them shout my name, I was like, oh my God. What a blessing.
00:35Yeah. I know you said that if you don't use your voice, you use the opportunity to tell your story.
00:40Can you feel like, you know, you've told your story through your art and through your career?
00:45Oh, absolutely. And I really have to thank Quinta Brunson and Abbott Elementary for unmuting the mic.
