I hope this also going to be online afterwards. I want to hear Sheila E speak. She seem more confident with her speaking over the years as she said in the past she didn't care for public speaking as she was like Prince preferred to play than speak.

I am suprise to see Solange Knowles will be there.

Great conference at Yale.
