I can't tell you what happened internally, but externally, I remember when you, what happened with you, happened at CNN, I called you and I had a long conversation with you.

So even if it didn't change you, it changed the way I saw you.

And I think it changed the way a great many people saw you.

So I don't know what your internal mechanisms were,

But I always saw, I remember they were talking to the sculptor and they said, how do you know how to sculpt?

And he said, it was already in there, I just let it out.

And I think that's what happened to you.

So I can't pretend like I didn't notice a change.

I can't say if it was my purview or your external circumstances, but I think there is a reason you're here right now.

There's a reason we're in this space right now.

And I'm not, I ain't,

I'm not a Bible thumper, but I believe that nothing happens accidentally.

And I think we are here and you are here in this space right now because something was different.

The universe recognized something.

I don't know that America as a construct would exist anymore.

But I do think that without a death, there can't be a resurrection.

I think we are in.

The reason that black women fight so hard to avoid this is because they knew what this would be.

They weren't just saying what they were saying.

And so now we'll decide.
