I'm gonna let you finish in just a minute.
2:09:09
So
2:09:10
Don't want to delay the closing comments, but we did want to come up, uh, because we
2:09:15
wanted to make sure that Lauren K. Alleyne did indeed have the final words on this, um, on this gathering.
2:09:23
And so I'll just say I'm, I'm standing here, um, on behalf of the Furious Flower Advisory Board.
2:09:30
Um, and I will say personally, and I will say that I think I speak for many of us when I say that being a part
2:09:37
of this board and chairing this board is like the honor of a lifetime for so many reasons and in so many ways.
2:09:44
But chief among them is to watch this woman work.
2:09:49
Lauren dreams big, plans big, visions big at all times.
2:09:56
And even the idea of this theme of the worlds of Black poetry and this idea to take Furious Flower, make it global, make it broad, make it diasporan.
2:10:33
We appreciate you deeply.
