I'm so excited.
I've never met her and Mum knows her.
I didn't know.
We literally usually write questions.
Right.
As you know, T and I was doing my research and we went to sit and talk it through and we just realized it's like we just got a list of shit you want to talk to Vanessa Phelps about.
So that's what our question.
It's not really questions, it's like, shit we want to talk to Vanessa Phelps about.
There's nuff.
She's an incredibly interesting woman.
People talk about her academia a lot and her intelligence and that part of her mind which is brilliant and fascinating.
But she's also a really soulful, deeply thoughtful, deeply feeling person.
And I think that part of her sometimes gets lost because of her intellect.
And also, I think she's given a lot of herself over her career to the country.
I feel like she's tried to do good work and educate people.
So I really respect her as a.
Broadcaster and she is a brilliant broadcaster.
She gladly is.
I feel like she always does the brave thing.
She steps towards her courage and thing that's possibly the scariest for her all the time, and I really admire that.
