So looking back, where did you start, and what prompted you to expand that into a much broader community model?

Yeah.

[clears throat] Excuse me.

I actually started United Natives, um, in-intentionally when I was a graduate student.

That was my first round.

I started with $100 out of my pocket, uh, to get this organization jump-started.

And at the time, um, I was a young graduate student, still really wet behind my ears, and it started off as a mentorship program because through my academic journey, myself and my background, it was really hard to identify mentors.

We, and we love those stories, so go ahead, go ahead
