Transcript
00:00Well, last year was our first year, but we want the person to have, you know, art, fashion,
00:17the combination, but also be a philanthropist and making a difference in the world. All of
00:22that is important in picking someone. It happens pretty organically, you know,
00:26just somebody just appears or somebody that we're motivated by or somebody that really makes a
00:32difference in the community. So it happens very naturally. It's one thing to be honored at the
00:39Wearable Art Gala. It's another going to be honored for entrepreneurship because entrepreneurship is
00:44so critical to the development of our communities, our abilities to fund our own development, to depend
00:53upon ourselves, to drive our own growth. And art has been this incredible expression of who we are.
01:01I just feel kind of like Simba is resilient, but then it's giving you Nala, you know, some feminine,
01:09you know, some edge. And so I was so excited about the theme this evening.
01:14We were inspired by Mufasa and Scar from the movies, so that's what we were kind of doing.
01:19It feels like a fun Halloween. Here's the deal. I got to give all credit to my stylist. You know,
01:24she saw the theme and, you know, we feel like this on the inside every day, you know,
01:28but tonight we got to, you know, do it up. You know what I mean? My chain, my jewelry,
01:33you know, it was really just sort of about earth tones and sort of taking it back.
01:37And I've never done this look before. So it's a beautiful thing.
