in the best possible way, and a big part of that was you. all my friends. viewers, of course i call you friends because you are friends. and when i see y'all out and about and y'all show me so much love and all the hugs and everything, i just know that it's been real. the notes that you all have shared with me just your kindness, your understanding, your support. i so appreciate you because we have been through some things these last five years, and i am just grateful that we've been able to go through those things together. and i appreciate you inviting me into your home every day and allowing me to be a part of your mornings, and i really don't take it for granted that i have been able to be here every morning in this role, because i know i would not be here if it were not for women journalists, women of color who have come before me really, and sacrificed so much to pave the way to make this possible. women like carolyn tyler, who opened her heart to me, her home to me from the very first moment that i got

here. and so i'm just so thankful for her. for women like her who have made this possible, managers here at abc seven who really have given me the space to be myself from how i wear my hair to how i speak, from supporting stories and conversations that have been really important to me and to the community. and i think that's a big part of the reason why our team is what it is, and it is a team. i mean, the crew behind the scenes, the producers, directors, writers, editors, everybody photographers, the engineers, because we love to call an engineer. i mean everybody who works behind the scenes to make sure that we look our best, that our show looks as best. i see you and i thank you so much for all of your hard work and the team that you do get to see on air. gloria lena. drew of course. drew, you are so kind and so sweet and so like you are the best person. and if you don't like somebody, then we got to check check you out. because if drew does not like you, something is definitely wrong. okay, seriously. and amanda, you
