You basically have it, just two small things to make it pass the checker. One: don't concatenate the period at the end. The period was just to end the sentence in the instructions. Two: Inside the string where you add the colon, put a space after the colon. That's it. Hope this helps!

Example:
let msg = ${firstName} ${lastName}: ${role.toUpperCase()} `
