Hey, wait a minute here. There's 15 of us on this call, and that expletive down the street,

there's only one of him. It's worth remembering, I think, that the kind of values we all are talking about are not partisan, and they are extremely popular.

Hey, everyone. My name is Katie Paris.

I am the founder of Red Wine and Blue.

We are a community of way over half a million women together now who are working all across the country

to fight back against extremism in our own communities. And we're doing it one friend at a time.

And so I thought it only appropriate to ask my BFF at Red Wine and Blue, Lefonda Cousin, to join

me and kicking off this new venture.

LaFonda, I'm so glad you're here with me.

Well, that's sweet.

It makes my heart real full, Katie.

Yay.

In addition to being the chief people officer at Red Wine and Blue,

I'm also a yoga instructor and Katie's Red Wine and Blue BFF. And I'm passionate about wellness and self-care.

So I'm super excited to talk about how we can take care of ourselves and our communities in this

moment when life is a lot to handle. And so I'm just really happy to be here and get this started. I mean, I think that

anyone who knows me can understand why LaFonda is such an essential partner in crime for me

personally and just for the whole organization of red, wine and blue. I would say that I would have lost my shit long ago in this job if it

were not for LaFonda existing in my life. So this, I just think it feels right for us to do this

together and to just find our way. So that's what we're doing. Welcome everyone to how to not

lose your shit. We are going to try to figure this out together.

We have heard so much from so many people, so many of you out there, who want to make a difference in your community, in this country.
