No matter what the reason to cut you is not valid because the time that you input to write that speech and to express it. We&#x27;ve been listening to a lot of your speeches and they are all meaningful,” @nexolga remarked.</p><p>Those who attended the event asked Catriona if she could upload her full speech on her YouTube channel so that everyone would hear her entire message. </p>
