SuzyHOST
Right? So let's talk a little bit about the things that you may, may see.
SuzyHOST
And before I go on, when we're seeing our history kind of open before us on social media, on – even in movies, right? Like we think of Book of Life and Coco.

Jenny C. BellHOST
None of that's a bad thing.
Jenny C. BellHOST
And then they may, then they may go, oh, wait, but I'm not Mexican.
Juliana GuerreroGUEST
