    Yendi, you have that "knack" of causing the interviewee to be soooooooo comfortable in your presence that they go in depth with you. The ambience is relaxing. I saw that you had a different setting. It was a bit more intimate. I saw 2 queens sitting together having a girlfriend conversation 👍🏼👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾🌹🌹. What a wonderful conversation...!! I thoroughly enjoyed your interview style and this particular episode. Aunty Donna is "down to earth, " and I admire her spirituality.
