My goodness.
Thank you so much, Paola.
Oh, wow.
Let me gather myself.
OK.
So thank you.
Thank you, the Poetry Center, Tyler, Paola.
I'm introducing you.
[LAUGHS]
Sarahs, Julie, and Sylvia, strength and solidarity.
And to all others who have been here
to help and make this a really beautiful welcoming
experience for me.
And I got to say, I mean, being Día de los Muertos,
it is a really special night, the ancestors are with us.
And I know my grandparents would be smiling
or are smiling right now, and little Paul's
smiling right now to be thinking of this.
So thank you very much for coming out, making some time
to be here tonight.
