Hello, everyone. Welcome to Hi-Lo with Emrata. It's Thursday and you know what that means.

It's a brand new Emrata asks. If you're new to the show, just let me explain really quickly.

On Tuesdays, we have guest interviews and on Thursdays we have a solo episode where I

a little bit about with both of them about my experience and I have written about it a lot,

particularly in the essay I wrote about word lines but I'll talk a little bit about that if you

haven't read the book in this episode. So first part we're going to just break down my story
