It was my first time in New Zealand, which the Maori name for that is Awatearoa. And that was just such an amazing, amazing – Blessing to be there. And we were met at the airport by Maori people.

Weeping. I've always been so moved by the haka, which they perform like before sporting events or sometimes at weddings. I'm so moved by... Oh, so, so beautiful. And then we, they taught us about touching noses. It's such an intimate thing. It's completely, you know, people of all ages will just come together and touch noses and breathe in together. Like, I was like, so intimate and human. Yeah.

And what's also cool is that I don't know if you knew, but they also teach Maori language in the schools there.

So whether you're of Maori descent or not. they really seem to make sure that that's at the forefront. And I just think that's so fire, and I wish we took a page out of that book in our country.

I'm a faithful woman at this point in my life. I'm a woman of faith. Have you always been? No. I've been through – that's something I talk about here too is like I grew up Catholic, grew up in the choir loft watching my mom be a soloist, a soprano at our church in St. Mary's in Foxborough. And I love the – I don't know if it's quite ancient, but like how old Catholicism is.
