Hey Everyone,
My name is Aja Alexandria Essex and I am a woman. I'll talk about it more as the days become weeks and so forth, but just know I am the happiest I've been in a long time.
What's presented in this episode is my intro to Speed Racer on 3/25/2022 at the IU Cinema. It was an emotional and overwhelming event in the best possible way.
I love doing the podcast and look forward to doing as myself in the future.
With love,
Aja
