And look at us now.
2:40:21
So this is a proud moment for me.
2:40:23
I feel like a parent right now.
2:40:25
This is a proud moment where we get to give you your voices, right?
2:40:30
To share your stories, to tell the stories that matters to us from your lens, not ours.
2:40:36
Right?
2:40:37
So, thank you for bringing this up and for your relentless advocacy.
2:40:44
Remind me so much of my little my younger version fighting for what you believe in and using your pen to make changes.
2:40:51
Right?
2:40:52
Advocacy.
2:40:53
It's important.
2:40:54
So each and every one of you, I've already told you from day 1, I am your champion, I am your ally, and I am your friend.
2:41:02
So we're gonna get this to the finish line, and we do put our money where our mouth is.
2:41:06
And, and I'm a big mouth on when it comes to young people and education.
