[We\u2019ve] constantly just been working with our heads down, grinding, grinding, grinding, grinding. You get to a point where you kind of have this breakout moment. It\u2019s so exciting to see. I\u2019m so proud and happy for all my peers and the girls who have been doing it for a decade as well who are getting their moment.\u201d<\/p>\n \t
