We're on The Hollywood Reporter and able to feature our foundation, Eat, Learn, Play. It's crazy, in 7 short years, the impact we've been trying to have in Oakland. So they've honored us as Philanthropists of the Year, which is a weird honor because it's reflective of— huh? It's very weird. Yeah, reflective of our entire team, our donors, our supporters, our partners, everybody that goes into making Eat, Learn, Play what it is. But we We want to use this obviously to share the story of the work that we're doing so more people can get involved and we can help more people. So super weird to be acknowledged for work that you would do whether you got acknowledged or not.
I was going to say though, anytime something like this happens, it's just, it's like taking your car to the gas station to add a little gas to the tank. Mm. It's fuel on the fire. And so it's just a reminder that there's so much more work to be done, but it's great having voices around us that are willing to scream loud from the mountaintops what we're actually doing.
