Uh, what's been the fan reaction with you, with the fans and everybody else, family, friends?

Yeah, you know what? I mean, I just flew back from LA I think yesterday.

I don't even know where I am.

Um, and I, uh, I, I haven't even had a chance to talk to people about it really.

I've just seen s- kind of some reviews online that, which are mixed, um, so I hear.

But, um, I just think that it's, it's so like unique in its own way because it's, you know, featuring all the kids mostly.

It's like-

Yeah

What was it like to come back to this? What, what was the moment that made you say, like, "Okay, I'm ready to get back in the ring"?

Yeah.

You know, I, like I said, I, I probably was gone 12, 13 years.

You know, I'd gotten a couple of offers in between.

I would do those, but you know, when I left, I was o- after a string of being leads on TV shows.

And so for me, in my mind, my very black and white mind, was I can't have a baby, you know, and I don't, you know, a- and be this busy.

I really wanna be fully present, so it was my choice to just, you know, stay home and do that.

So for you, how does artistry and advocacy tie together? Why are they both important? That, and how do they live next to each other in your life?
