  • A sweet and fascinating show

    I have a curious mind. I can drop into deep interest immediately with exploration. That happened with ROOTED! I didn’t know what I wanted to know but then I was deep in.

    This show is positive, funny, and quite the enjoyable lesson all the way through. It displays a deep intelligence. You got a great voice.

    Excelsior!!!
