Welcome to Our Hen House.

This is Jasmine Singer.

And this is Mary Ann Sullivan.

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

Because Marianne's guest is someone who we have met since moving here to Rochester,

and we're so excited about her work.

Pearl Brunt is a plant-based food and environmental enthusiast and an international business consultant.

She's doing something that I expect we're going to be seeing a lot more of in the future.

She's running for office in her local government.

If you have ever thought about throwing your hat in the political ring with plant base being part of your platform,

this is the interview for you.

It's so cool, isn't it?

I'm just so excited about it.

I also spoke to her on the flock bonus segment.

So if you're in the flock, make sure you check that out. And if you're a flock member, you'll get the link to that segment in your email on the Tuesday after this goes up.

You can always find it on the flock Facebook group. And if you're not a member of the flock the flock you can and you can afford it you can join for $10 a month at our henhouse.org slash donate also if you're in the flock already please join us for our flock Friday

first Zoom calls I'm always going to change around the order of those words right

how about the Zoom Friday flock first How about the Zoom Friday, flock first?

How about the Zoom Friday calls first flock, which are once a month on the first Friday of the month at 4 p.m. Eastern or 8 p.m. Greenwich meantime, where we focus on how to be better activists, how to take care of ourselves.

And we speak to some very inspiring podcast guests who you all want to hear more from.

So it's a very intimate discussion, and it's always lovely.
