    Vanessa, I always look forward to your one-on-one interviews. For some reason it seemed headed for an interview at the women's empowerment center but no, it did not get there. Previously, the one-on-one with your sister was informative and interesting, still one of my favorites. On the other hand, it appears you do not acknowledge the comments here. Anyway, I love your work. Fan, from the USA 🇺🇸.
