00:00I do believe that times are changing.
00:02There is much more inclusivity,
00:05there's more diversity,
00:07and it's not lip service anymore.
00:09Whatever that glass ceiling was,
00:10we just ninja kicked it out of it.
00:12Look at me.
00:13I mean, I've been in the business for 40 years.
00:15And finally, I get to be number one on the call sheet.
00:20I think it simply goes to say,
00:22it's like if you believe in yourself,
00:23you believe and you have passion in what you do,
00:26you don't give up.
00:27I think the change has already started occurring.
00:29I'm just so happy that I'm still here
00:32when this has, the change has happened.
00:35You know, that I'm not in my rocking chair
00:36and go like, why didn't I get that chance?
00:39I am overwhelmed at this moment,
00:44but at least I am here.
00:46So I'm gonna work hard that this is not just going
00:49to be the only time I'm here.
00:52And for all that looks like us,
00:54we are gonna move forward
00:56and find bigger and better opportunities.
