Um and it feels great.

Feels great.

Plus I'm also someone that really enjoys structure.

So like knowing exactly what you're gonna say, you know, it's like it's very it's very beneficial.

Well, my phone started blowing up and actually I was sitting I was sitting there on the couch with my fiancee watching uh Amanda Gorman do that incredible poem.

I was so excited 'cause my favorite time during all of the inaugurations is being able to hear the the poet.

And so for them to select a a young woman who's African American.

and who was a performance poet and was also someone who um you know has had challenges around speech and language.

Um it was it was an amazing experience to sit and watch her, you know, have this platform.

And I'm chill just cheering along and all the social media, this, that, and the other.

And I I hadn't I wasn't even aware that um uh understood had I think a uh

uh year or two prior written an article about her and then tagged an interview that they did with me at the bottom of that.

So that started getting shared.

I I was I was blown away and I you know and I was really, really honored and and um and I'm glad to see that uh she was given that platform and and I hope people were listening because her message was very, very powerful.

So that poem, uh uh you know, in in twenty twenty we were celebrating the the thirtieth anniversary of the ADA, the Americans with Disability Act.

And I knew the the anniversary was coming up and so I wanted to craft something that really paid homage to it.

But it was also 2020.

And so, you know, I had been actively out protesting and and you know, trying to make the world a a safer place for all of us.

Um, and so all of that energy sort of found its way into the poem.
