I had to do my homework, okay that's a true story and then I started. thinking, hey, especially with what was going on in the pandemic, George Floyd, etc., hey, this could work, God, what you're trying to do because I knew I was overqualified to do it right, but you closed the door, so what you try to do, let me do it right. There, um, Ashley Robinson had been calling me A.D and uh, Jackson had been calling me for weeks straight and it's good, she did her homework and what really got me was she said how is it bossy to do that?

It was just a match made in heaven, right?
