  • So I've actually, like, teamed together with a group of women. They are such amazing women, and they're so passionate about this cause. And it's to bring awareness about the elephant in the room, the the things that people really don't wanna talk about, child abuse, sexual abuse, screaming gangs, you name it. Under that umbrella, there's such a massive category.

  • Oh, yes. I mean, it was very, very eventful, very tiring, but very worthwhile. So I got to London late Sunday afternoon last week. I went to a secret location that is, believe it or not, an inner city farm. Would you imagine that they would have such things in London?
