"It was really well received, everyone I’ve spoken to said how engaging she was and they found the whole event a real lift in these weirdest of times. I think the video element sort of felt more personal for people, unfortunately for Ruby there isn’t any audience immediate feedback because we have to turn out microphones off but we all turned them on for a final applause"
