I’ve always loved the use of ‘catapulted to fame’. Because catapults involved so much pre-shot pull back and strength and effort and strategy. It’s not a quick launch with no direction or energy. There is so much work put into so-called overnight success stories. Congrats to Deborah on her lifetime of achievements since that moment! 👏
