Really, I treasure the process my story went through with khōréō. My editor Kanika and I had such careful, engaged conversations about its thorns, and the entire audio team did such a great job bringing it to life. They have eight days left and around $6,000 to their goal. That is so doable! 😤🗣️🙏🏾💜
