| 0:37.3 | New York! What's good. Thank you everyone for tuning in to another episode of The Newest Olympian. I'm your host, Mike Schubert. I have never read the Percy Jackson series before. I'm making my way through the series for the very first time. And I'm joined by someone who's read the series and is very familiar with it. So let's get right to our guest. Our guest for this episode is the CFO of Black Girls' Create, and the co-host of The Nerds Arendi, It's Delia. Gaiegos, Delia. How's it going? Pretty good. Happy to be here.
