Welcome to Our Hen House.

This is Jasmine Singer.

And this is Mary Ann Sullivan.

And this week, Marian is chatting with Jessica Ava,

who will be telling us all about the amazing new organization she's heading up.

It's called Thrive Philanthropy.

Oh, and today's show is guest starring Mary Ann's cat, who is meowing in the background right now.

I didn't know whether you could hear that, yeah. It was like so cute. My cats are very wound up

this morning, so expect to hear more from them. You know how sometimes they get? Like, they sleep like 23 hours and then

they decide to run them around the house like crazy things. Yeah, that was so cute. That's where we are.

We're at the crazy thing. All right. Well, I love them. And then sometimes when they get in that mood,

I start chasing them around the house, which like totally confuses them. And they're like, what the fuck is she doing?

And what is little Lulu doing this whole time?

I think she's asleep.

Okay.

Yeah, that's not.

She's noodling under the dining room table.

That's the update from the Sullivan household.

All right.

Well, so back to Thrive Philanthropy, which I don't know.

I think it's fascinating, but I also think the way your cats interact with one another is also

fascinating. Thrive philanthropy is working to fund grassroots organizations and food justice advocates
