The ratio of physicians in medicine is like two to 3%. Yeah. When you think about building on the work of somebody else to really make it directly resonant and relevant to the communities who you care so deeply about, I'm curious how you think about that. It's interesting because I didn't set out to necessarily do that. You know, of course, I have a long history of practicing group, but it was really in the process of writing the book that I thought about what kinds of things may be show up in a group of all black women that have not shown up in other groups that I've worked on or worked with.
