    Ricardo has this way of ebbing and flowing between comedy and creating safe spaces for the hardiest darkest spots to be discussed to truly allow people to know they aren’t alone. Thank you for being a huge voice for the dispatcher community who deserves one of the biggest platforms of recognition for what they do!
