A charming person, and a lovely, theatrical, speech.
If she had rehearsed it a couple more times, she could have achieved a perfect rhythm.
I was turned off a bit when she started using historical present to describe the incident at the Catholic school. She used it again in a couple more cases, but thankfully not for long. Most of the times I find historical present awkward. It is difficult to do well, and, to my eyes, it seldom succeeds in its purpose.
