What's up, ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls around the world? I'd like to welcome you back to the Real Talk with Zubi podcast. On today's episode, we're going to be having a very interesting conversation. I've got on Z. Cohen Sanchez. She is a political campaigner. She is the founder of Soul Strategies and National Ground Game. Welcome to the show, Zee. How are you doing? Yeah, I'm good. Thanks for

having me. No doubt. It's a pleasure to have you here, Zee. And thank you for coming on.
