It's, it's living very empowerment for me. So I appreciate it. I appreciate the environment.

I think subconsciously last night I was scrolling through my tiktok as one does before they fall asleep.

Um, but I was scrolling through my tiktok and I guess the cheetah girl is the original. First of all, it was a book.

0:27.0

Yeah. It was written by this woman. I forget the author's name, but she wanted to reboot her name is Deborah Gregory. Um, I'm a big. I would cheat a girl for real at my core. And I would stand.

0:46.0

Um, of Miss Dalgik.

1:22.0

Let me tell you.

1:23.0

1:44.0

It was good. I was like, oh, okay, they're giving the girls a moment. We got to see representation and diversity. Yes. It really, really what I.
