I'm wondering then, in this interaction or maybe others, is there something that you wanted to share with them?

Yeah.

I wanted to let them know that I'm here to be of service of them.

I'm here to honor them.

Like, with my last project, 90% of Me is You, is about honoring the ancestors, honoring my family legacy, but that work extends outside of this, where I am taking the memories that they had growing up and putting them into that Black, Black and blue type of field, you know?

... getting the residency, and what it's been like building out your show?

Yes.

All I say is that door isn't locked, it's just temporarily closed.
