BLANCHE-NICOLE: What you’re doing, people see what you do, and they really take you from what you’re capable of doing versus just judging you because of your mental stage or stuff like that. You know there’s no such thing. But the fact that they have resources to have you brought in the company, that’s really helpful too. I really like helping people and helping people for me is like, yeah, it makes me feel happy. And I’m just so blessed to have this job.
