Here is Trysta, looking a bit nervous, at her first speaking engagement. The woman on her left is a very good friend, Ximenita, whom she has known for several years.

Ah, the speaking part is over and she is glad she did it.

Lots of talking at the end. Trysta got lots of complements on how well she did and how brave of her to be able to speak in front of so many people.
