Because I’m still processing, I don’t have an answer for you yet. It’s been a long time since I’ve been a part of a family and appeared on a show.

But then I’m extremely grateful that I was able to be a part of this, that I felt able to contribute my work in this way.

I believe it’s a new way for people to see me. I’m not sure I’ll ever be able to put into words what this [show] meant to me and how it changed me as a person.
