Welcome to Our Hen House.

This is Jasmine Singer.

And this is Marianne Sullivan.

And we're so excited that you're joining us this week.

We have a super cool interview that I've been very excited to air.

Marianne will be joined by Nicola Kagora, aka Chef Kola,

who is a Zimbabwean vegan chef who founded African vegan on a budget and is also managing all the meals for the Akashinga Rangers, the all-female squad of anti-poaching rangers, working with the International Anti-Poaching Foundation to end the slaughter of elephants and other animals by poachers.

She's also doing lots of other cool things to spread veganism in Zimbabwe and South Africa.

You definitely don't want to miss this episode. I'm so excited that we're finally airing it.

We're doing our flock Friday. It needs to be super,

super careful. It's getting worse. It's getting worse. Super careful. Actually, before Jen started at

her henhouse and John was still here, we were doing bots, which is what we call bottom of the show.

And at the very, very end, we ended with stay safe out there, wear your mask, social distance. And I just

remember having this conversation with him in, in like March about when we needed to change bots.

And we were like, well, let's revisit it in May or something like that. And here we are like a

year later. Anyway, to help us get through this time, we are still continuing with our

wonderful flock Friday Zoom calls at 4 p.m. Eastern on Fridays. And sometimes we have guests.
