Hello, everybody. I hope you're doing fabulously well. While I work on new episodes, I wanted to

change things up and share this conversation I had with Marianne and Jasmine at Our Henhouse. I know

they need no introduction, but Jasmine, singer, and Marianne Sullivan are the powerhouse duo behind

our Henhouse, a nonprofit organization whose

mission it is to mainstream the movement to end the exploitation of animals and provide support

for those working to change the world for animals.

Jasmine is an author and speaker.

She's known for her work at the intersection of animal rights, identity, and social justice.

Marianne is an animal law professor, and she brings deep insight into the legal and ethical dimensions

of animal protection. Together, they co-host the award-winning Our Henhouse Podcast.

I am thrilled to share this conversation with you. They are longtime colleagues and Jasmine

has been a friend for many years. We go way back. She actually attended my 10-year hour,

my husband and our 10-year vow renewal back in 2011, which is so long ago now. And that's when she met my mother, which she references

in our conversation. But we met long before that, connecting right away over language and animal

advocacy and New Jersey, which is where we're both from. In fact, we're both from the same town.

We just have a bit of a gap, maybe nine year, 10 year gap in between. But I love

chatting with them. And I hope I answered the question, Jasmine asked me about my mother and the

dedication of my book, A Year of Compassion. I hope I answered eloquently enough. I'm not sure that I

did. I may have to listen to it again myself. I don't like

listening to my own interviews, so you'll just have to let me know. I hope you enjoy the conversations.
