Good morning Member
Hello, GrayViners! Before we dive into todayâs news, let me quickly introduce myselfâIâm Veronica! Youâve probably seen my name on plenty of GrayVine stories, but now I get to hang out with you right here in the newsletters, too. đ This morning, I woke up looking like a rotisserie chicken in bedsheets, and it reminded me of my mom saying, âSome people sleep like angels, some sleep like tornadoes.â I think I know which one I am. đł
