And we do pass judgment on people, uh, meeting them, never having spoken to them.

We just look at them, and we have an idea in our mind about that person, and we all try so hard to not have those feelings and those thoughts.

... it's hard for me honestly because I've had to step back so much.

When I lost my mom, um, in '21, I had to step back from HUE and from other things I was involved in so heavily because the, uh, amount of work at my studio that she shared with me, I had to take that on myself.

So I, I can't even express adequately how grateful I am for the people who have stepped up in HUE and really taken over.
