Welcome back to another segment of before we hit record with Marissa Corcoran.

And I got it right that time, yeah?

I'm at my mom's right now.

We've talked about, we've already had like a before you record. wrong. Well, now I, so I will share with you that, like, my name is, and then we'll get back to the

intro. This will just be on the podcast, but my name has been butchered, Marisa. So sorry about that

all my life. But even I say it wrong, when I say Quajo, my dad, who immigrated to the states

from Ghana, would correct me at least until I was like

So I apologize for that.

No, no.
