But I'm going to focus it on her relationship with the Brazilian contingent of South By Southwest. It's a huge group of people. She's been working with them for 20 years, and she keeps those communities alive through all sorts of business opportunities throughout the year. And I really want to understand what that means in terms of the opportunities for people who are involved with South By Southwest to keep those relationships going and vital. So, Tracy, thank you so much for being a part of this conversation

Hi, Deborah, thanks so much for inviting me to take part in Swell and speak on behalf of the Brazilian contingent itself. By Southwest I actually don't live in Brazil. I'm still in New York, but because I lived in Brazil many years ago, I've been fortunate to keep friendships and relationships going over the decades that have helped me to reach out to the marvelous community that we have at South By Southwest

So what I wanted to say is that this is another platform that has a lot of potential to be popular in Brazil because we love to talk and the diversity that Tracy mentioned is part of that. It's easier in Brazil to have a diverse culture because we just like to talk and get to know each other in general. Of course, I'm generalizing. I guess the problem you're going to have is to work against WhatsApp? Because it's everywhere and everyone is super familiar with it. Right

Hey, Marcel, thanks so much for introducing yourself here and for just chiming in about the presentation. I appreciate your kind words. And yes, there's a lot of room for some great new technology for all of us to connect more deeply. And I hope hopes welcome play a big role in that for sure
