Happy.
Hello, welcome.
Welcome back to the show.
I am Jo Marie Payton.
And I am Naomi Osaka.
And this is the Read.
Thanks for coming back.
Thank you.
It's January, mid January in fact.
Lots going on.
Can't believe time is moving this quickly.
Why don't we jump into some black.
Excellent.
Okay.
Love that.
Black excellence this week is going to Jewel Rogers.
She's been named the new poet laureate.
Poet laureate, sure.
Yeah, Poet laureate.
That's it.
