That is had to contend with some of the things you've contended with, which many women and men contend with, which is like parenthood and family.

That is articulate, that is seasoned across a variety of different environments and spaces. That is also a black woman. There is nobody. And if you reflect on you as that young girl looking up at Oprah or me looking up at Jamal Edwards, it was so important.

And it's hard to think of a more astonishing, important legacy than that. Like the 10 million Emmas that you will create. And so I'm so glad you're doing this because I've said to my team, there's not another Emma. There's not someone else that could occupy that position.
