their project of s.g.m. only starting 26th or not you know no to us it is not just about dropping their rate of g.m. it's about creating a new culture all about creating a new tradition and a new norm in our society how americans also will never have a low level oh oh our humanity our. what our social media our work and that. i actually use social media to connect with other sister activists around the world and i fighting against after sisters from sudan from india from you know somalia all working in the all corner enough g.m. and we use social media to the group to savage us to support one another.

the long walk. i can't see what they're doing but there's this moment where in that movement where i just feel like the shot put. in a. weapon. and i describe it like. imagine when you open it because of. that slowness of opening as a perk. and. for those who feel

like little. and then came. to. my mind as good twat to flicker just like you know because you don't get. to work i'm. not even my do you. find me and my. poor quality know it took to if he only thinks easy because like i you said who treat dana bad to have a family more than she has son te amo sufism is your 2nd lot you know support the practice may kill so poor quest could lift. less. and
