I also just wanted to put on on the record, so my kids ever listen to this, they also hear the black joy part.

So even through all of this, the community is still able to find joy and as my kids are growing, I wanna make sure they hear that part as well and many people are thriving but it is, to be honest, they're thriving in spite of what was put in place, not because it was put in place.
