  • JUST SORT OF TELL STORIES THAT WERE NOT THAT, THAT WERE LIKE

  • BUT WE WANTED TO SORT OF SHOW A DIFFERENT SIDE OF THESE

  • IMMIGRANT EXPERIENCES AND I FELT LIKE IT WAS PORNLT TO DO THAT.

  • IMAGE TO BE THE BILLBOARD, RIGHT?

  • OPPORTUNITY, HAVE I A NETWORK THAT WILL SUPPORT ME.

  • IT FELT ALMOST IRRESPONSIBLE NOT TO DO THAT.

  • NOT TO PUT SOMETHING OUT INTO THE WORLD THAT WE DON'T SEE

  • EVERY DAY, TO PUT SOMETHING OUT INTO THE WORLD THAT IS BEING

  • BANNED IN MULTIPLE COUNTRIES.

  • AND TOOLOGICAL BE UNAPOLOGETIC ABOUT IT.

  • HAVE COME TO CELEBRATE THEIR LOVE FOR EACH OTHER WHICH IS

  • VERY EMOTIONAL FOR ME.
