I figured it out! I was confused on which slash command to use to cancel out the apostrophe.

Hey Carlos Marin,

The other thing you could do is use the double quotation marks which would allow you to use the apostrophe without having to use the ' \ ' to escape. So, e.g. ("What's your name?"), would've been fine as well.
