I'm Chloe Mel. And I'm Chor Manardi and this is the run through and we are so excited because this episode is one we've been looking forward to forever.

Indeed and we were so delighted by all of the questions we received for today's advice and mailbag episode.

We got so many amazing, lovely messages and a lot of queries, and someone even sent us a video of the wallpaper that they made out of old Vogue covers for their bathroom.

Oh, so cool. I think it's a genius idea.

I know.

It really is.

himself to the Messiah was, I mean, jaw-dropping for me.

It felt really sad, actually.

It just didn't feel like a vision of America that I can relate to.

Yeah.

So I obviously took this from a very European standpoint. And I know there are lots of people who think that this powerful international stance and his way of thinking and his very decisive approach is like, you know, what they want. But I found it quite upsaying.

Something I learned a couple weeks ago is that it is in the Constitution that the inauguration always falls on January 20th, no matter what day of the week it is.

I found it to be sort of adding salt to a wound that that fell in Martin Luther King Day this year.

I thought we did some really nice pieces around Martin Luther King Day, especially Leah Faye Cooper did a wonderful piece on the men of Morehouse College.
