TOO BEINGS.

YOU KNOW, SOMEBODY WAS SUCH A HOPE I THINK THAT WAS THE SUM UNIFY A SENTIMENT THAT THIS IS THIS WAS ACTION THAT WE WERE GOING TO WAITING THEY KNOW, JUST WAITING UNTIL MIDNIGHT AND THEN THE NATIONAL ELECTION, A COUNCIL INDICATING THAT ONE, I DEFINITELY NOT.

SO I WAS.

THAT THE LEAVE.

THE HAPPENING.

I THINK COMMUNITIES SO ON, IN MY OPINION, YOU MAY GET IT.

OF COURSE, SOMETHING SINCE THE SUDDEN THIS HOPING TO BE CELEBRATING THE FILING DATE AND IN TALKING ABOUT THERE WAS LIKE YOU MENTIONED, HOPE AND ANTICIPATION ARE LET'S AND MOWING THE LAWN.

SALAS OPPOSITION PARTY CANDIDATE.

WAS GOING TO EXACT.

HE WON EYES.

YOU SAY ONE RIGHT IN MY EYES.

YOU KNOW, I'M IN APRIL TO THE DATA THAT IS DONE.

YOU KNOW, THE INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY IN THE PACIFIC IT IS NOT GOING TO HOME.

YOU KNOW, THE MINDING THE OF THE VOTING TALLIES, YOU KNOW, JUST TO RELEASED, BUT THE GOVERNMENT.

BUT I THINK THAT WE STILL HAVE A LOT OF.

WANT KNOW THEY SENT THE IT KNOW THAT BEFORE.

AS YOU MENTIONED, IT WAS A REALLY EMOTIONAL ONE FOR IT WAS A EMOTIONAL.

IT WAS EMOTIONAL FOR MANY PEOPLE AND THAT THEY DO WANT TO BRING YOU AND MOVED TO THE U.S. FROM VENEZUELA 2017.

AND YOU'RE ACTUALLY PART OF THE RESISTANCE FORCES.

YES, AND AGAIN, SOME OF GOVERNMENT BEFORE THAT.

TELL ME WHAT IT'S LIKE TO BE A PROTESTER IN PART OF THOSE RALLIES THAT WE SEE IN THE VIDEOS.

YEAH, WE WE SHARE THE SAME FEELING THAT AGAINST WARMING.

WE WERE ICE OFFERING ALL KIND OF STUFF WHEN DOING OVER THERE BASICALLY WEAR A FACE IN DAY EVERY DAY WE WERE IN THE PROTESTS.

YOU SHOULD BE WE DON'T KNOW.

WE ARE GO BACK HOME WITH YOUR OUR LOVED ONES BECAUSE HE'S LIKE A ROLLING A DICE.

FUN.

THANK YOU.

GET CALLED WITH POLICE ARE OR I WAS INNOCENT.

OR SOMETHING TO GET TO BULLET.

ONLY WHAT YOU MENTIONED THAT YOU WERE IN CHARGE OF PROTECTING THE RALLIES.

YES.

SCHOOL WHERE LOT WHERE UP TO THE GAS MASK WHAT THE GLOVES TO PROTECT HAS SECONDS THAT THE HEEL FOR THE BOMBS THAT'S THAT'S WHAT MY WORK OVER THERE.

BUT WAS A FEELING LIKE FOR YOU THERE.

WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT IT NOW WITH, YOU KNOW SAID FEELING BECAUSE YOU ARE HOPING THAT THE STARTING OF THE OF THE ELECTION YOU CAN FEED THAT FINALLY GET IT AND BEES THAT GUY NIGHTMARE.

THAT'S THE SO NOW WE HAVE TO FOLLOWED A DAY THE LEAD OF R PRESSMAN.

YOU WOULD LIKE THE PRESIDENT LIKELY ON THE CHINA.

JUST BE PATIENTS AND WHAT I WANT TO BRING YOU IN A POSITION.

ALLEGED VOTING FLOODING, FRAUD AND CLAIMS THERE'S PROOF.

HOW ARE THEY GOING ABOUT FIGHTING THE RESULTS?

WOULD YOU SAY, OH, WELL, I THINK THEY HAVE RELEASED THE DATA THAT THEY HAVE FROM THEIR UP THE POLLS, WHICH CLEARLY CONTRADICT WHAT THE GOVERNMENT IS CLAIMING.

AND THERE'S DEFINITELY NEED 4 PRESSURE ON THE MADURO GOVERNMENT TO RELEASE THE ACTUAL NOT ONLY THAN THAT, NATIONAL VOTE TOTALS, BUT ALSO THE THE POLLING PLACE BY POLLING PLACE TOTAL SO THAT THE INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY AND OTHER OBJECTIVE OBSERVERS CAN SAY, OK, LET'S SEE WHERE THE FRAUD IS, IF IT DOES EXIST.

AND I THINK THAT THAT'S WHAT'S NECESSARY RIGHT NOW FOR THE RELEASE OF THAT DATA.

I I THINK I WAS STAFF UP AND TOLD THE PRESIDENT, THE NEIGHBORING PRESIDENT OF COLOMBIA WHO URGED BRUTAL GOVERNMENT YESTERDAY TO RELEASE THOSE RESULTS.

BUT AT THE SAME TIME, METRO HAS ALSO BEEN VERY CLEAR THAT HE OPPOSES WAR SANCTIONS BY THE UNITED STATES COLUMBIA BECAUSE I'VE BEEN THIS BECAUSE THERE'S HISTORY YOU NEED IT.

LATIN AMERICA OF THE UNITED STATES PRESSURING GOVERNMENTS WHEN IT DOESN'T LIKE THE RESULT.

AND THERE ARE SO MANY THAT WE DON'T HAVE TIME TO GET INTO ALL OF THEM.

BUT I THINK THEY'RE THEREFORE THERE THE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT SHOULD DEFINITELY THE MET IS WHEN GOVERNMENT TO RELEASE THE RESULTS, BUT NOT TO INCREASE BLOCKADE AND AND THE SANCTIONS THAT ONLY END UP HURTING MORE OF THE VENEZUELAN PEOPLE.

AND AND I MY THING, WHAT DOES IT SAY ABOUT VENEZUELAN GOVERNMENT SAYING THEY DO WANT TO RELEASE THE RESULTS?

YOU KNOW, WHAT WOULD YOU SAY THAT SAYS?

DID YOU KNOW THAT BEHAVIOR?

YOU KNOW, THAT'S A FIGHT MANY, MANY IN MANY BEFORE.

YOU KNOW, YOU GO TO THE ELECTION.

AND I THINK ONE OF THE THING THAT WE NEED TO SAY HERE IS THAT WEEK.

VENEZUELA HAS IN SOME POINT IN LIFE AT THE ICON OF DEMOCRACY LET HIM MAKE WE WE REALLY THESE A SPIRIT OF OF BUT BEING A BABY PEACEFUL, A PUBLICATION AND WE DO SEE THE WAIT TO TAKE.

YOU KNOW, I THINK THEY DON'T VOTE IS GOING TO BE THROUGH VOTE SO THEY CAN ONLY WE SEE NOW THAT EAST.

THAT'S NOT TRUE.

AND MORE AND MORE.

YOU KNOW WHAT, YOU WANT SOME PEOPLE TO SAY.

YOU HAVE HAVE YOU EVER SEEN AT THE TABLE IS GOING TO BE I WOULD, YOU KNOW, WITH THE VOTE OF THE PEOPLE.

BUT WITH THE PP, THE HOPE THAT THIS TOO, AND WE KEEP GOING TO THE POLLS CAST A VOTE.

I I WILL 10 TEEN IN BUT PRESSURE.

BUT THAT IS THE IS MEANT WHAT?

THAT'S MY THING.

I THINK HAD THESE IS THE SOMETHING HE'S BEEN FOR A LONG TIME.

MY OUT ON THEIR TEAM MAY BE WORKING FOR A LONG ABOUT THE STYLE SECTION.

WASTE RIGHT WITH PEOPLE TRYING TO GET TO THAT ROSS AND BELIEVE IN THE PROCESS.

SHE SAID THERE'S MARK.

YEAH, BECAUSE SHE ALREADY KNEW WHAT THEY WHEN PLANE FARE.

SO GOT A PLAN ABOUT PLAN.

I BELIEVE AT THIS TIME THEY WILL NEVER EXPECT THAT, YOU KNOW, LIKE BECAUSE THE LAW SAYING WHEN THE WHEN WENT TO COLLECTIONS, THEY SAY I WANT WITH THESE THE AND THAT THAT WAS SOLD AND SAY, YOU KNOW, I SAID THAT WAS SOLD OUT THE LITTLE, SO THAT'S THAT'S THAT'S THE WAY BASEBALL NOW, DAY PROCLAIMED BIKES, BABY ON THE NIGHT.

THEY SAY WE'VE GOT PROVE IT THAT WE ONE MORE DOUBLE PERCENTAGE OF THE PEOPLE, THE BOULDERS AND AND AND LIKE I SAID IN THE BEGINNING OF THE SAT, THE KNOW THAT THE THEY WON'T BECAUSE THEY ALL THIS THE FACTS.

AND RIGHT NOW NEW SEE SOME VIDEOS WE DO PAPERWORK ON.

THE PEOPLE ARE SAYING THESE THAT THESE THEM ON THE BOAT.

WE GOT TONIGHT, HEARTENING TO BEING RESPECTED THAT IS GOING RESPECT YOU SEE LATE TONIGHT IS THEY FOUND IT.

I DON'T THINK THE GOVERNMENT THEY WOULD EXPECTING CONTINUES YOU KNOW, PROTECT YOU FROM PEOPLE FROM THE STORK.

YEAH.

THAT WAS JOE.

THE WIP COMING FROM THE PLACES USED TO LEAVE BEFORE THAT WILL COME FROM BABY BEFORE KNOWS HE WOULD COME, YOU KNOW, FROM THAT JOB.

AND THOSE ARE THE ONES THAT YOU SEE IN THE STREETS AND THAT SOMETHING THAT MICHAEL RIGHT BECAUSE I WOULD QUESTION FIRST OF ALL, THERE HAVE BEEN REPEATED PROTESTS NOW FOR THE LAST 25 YEARS.

IT'S NOT AS IF YOU KNOW THAT WHAT THE WEDDING BUT PROTEST 2004 THAT WITH WHAT HUMAN RIGHTS OF 2014, THAT WAS THE THIS TO SOUND FROM 2 COUP AGAINST CHAVEZ WHO WAS A DEMOCRATICALLY ELECTED PRESIDENT.

AND YET THE UNITED STATES BACKED THAT AND UNTIL THE PEOPLE BEAT IT BACK.

SO THERE HAS BEEN CLASS STRIFE IN VENEZUELA NOW FORWARD FOR 2 DECADES, MORE THAN 2 DECADES.

AND IT'S JUST A QUESTION THAT THAT THIS MOST LATEST ELECTION BECAUSE REMEMBER A FEW YEARS AGO, GUAIDO DECLARED HIMSELF PRESIDENT IN THE UNITED STATES, WHOLE BUNCH OF COUNTRIES BACK DIDN'T HURT AND NONE OF THE FRONT BECAUSE OF WAY, THOUGH, AS A AFTER THAT NATIONAL ME SOME SOME PEOPLE EVERY AND MAKE THE 4 FROM THE PEOPLE.

AND NOW YOU CHANGE BECAUSE WE HAVE TO PROVE THAT WE ARE.

I GO TO 2 OF WE'VE GOT MORE 70% OF THE POPULATION THERE WANTING FOR A CHANGE.

I STAND FOR A CHANGE BECAUSE WE DECIDE CHANGE WHEN BEING STRUGGLING FOR SO LONG.

AND NOW WE HAVE TO PROVE WE WE NEED TO CHANGE BECAUSE PEOPLE ARE STARVING.

PEOPLE LOSING THEIR LIFE.

IS THAT WHY YOU YOU ENROLLED?

WOULD YOU SAY?

YOU ENROLL WHEN YOU ARE AND THE RESISTANCE?

YEAH, BECAUSE WE WERE LIKE WITH THE 7.

YOU KNOW, WE WE NEED BETTER LEADERS THAT THEY COME HERE.

THE PEOPLE NEED KNOW?

AND WE ONLY HAVE A COUPLE SECONDS.

ANYTHING ELSE YOU WANT YOU WOULD LIKE TO SANTA.

WE NEED TO PATIENT?

YOU KNOW THIS, BUT THIS IS GOING TO BE A LONG PROCESS IS NOT GOING TO HAPPEN TO ORDER SOMETHING TO HAPPEN.

YOU IN 2 OR 3 DAYS.

BUT TO WEEK, I THINK THE HE STORIES NOW OUR SITE AND I BET HE'S GOING TO BE RESOLD, YOU KNOW, WITH THE INCUBATION WITH MUSLIM COMMUNITY HERE.

HOPEFUL.

WELL, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ALL OF THANK YOU.

THANK YOU.

UP NEXT, NEW EFFORTS TO PRESERVE THE STORIES OF CHICAGO'S LATINO COMMUNITY.

LATINOS MAKE UP THE SECOND LARGEST RACIAL GROUP IN CHICAGO WITH NEARLY 30% OF THE CITY'S POPULATION IDENTIFYING AS HISPANIC OR LATINO.

ACCORDING TO THE 2020 CENSUS.

BUT ADVOCATES SAY THE IMPACT THEY'VE HAD IN CHICAGO IS IN WELL REPRESENTED IN HISTORICAL RECORDS.

ONE GROUP IS WORKING TO FIX THAT BY CREATING THEIR OWN SPACE FOR LATINOS TO SHARE THEIR HISTORIES.

JOINING US WITH MORE ON THE PROJECT ARE NANCY VF ENGEL, PRESIDENT AND CO-FOUNDER OF CASES CHICAGO STORY COALITION I SEE VICE PRESIDENT AND CO-FOUNDER OF ISIS CHICAGO STORY COALITION.

THANK YOU BOTH JOINING US.

THIS SOUNDS LIKE A REALLY INTERESTING INITIATIVE.

NANCY, WANT TO START WITH YOU.

WHAT INSPIRED YOU TO START BUT THANK YOU.

WELL, HONESTLY, THAT THERE WAS NO ONE SINGLE THING THAT INSPIRED ME.

I WOULD SAY THERE WAS A A SERIES OF EXPERIENCES OVER THE COURSE OF SEVERAL YEARS THAT I'M REALLY AND CONNECTIONS GOT US TO THIS MOMENT.

ANYTHING FROM THE 26 16 ELECTION AND THE NEGATIVE STEREOTYPES THAT WE'RE JUST GETTING FIGHT SO MUCH AND, YOU KNOW, THE POLITICAL SPHERE.

FROM YEARS GETTING WHITEWASHED FROM TRYING TO DO MY OWN HISTORY.

IT AND RESEARCH AND NOT FINDING WHERE TO GO.

EVEN THOUGH I'VE WORKED IN MUSEUMS, I WORKED IN PLACES THAT HAVE THESE ARCHIVES, NOT EVEN FINDING WHERE TO GO FOR THE BIG STORIES, MUCH LESS.

SOME OF US LESSER KNOWN STORIES SO THAT AND WHILE WORKING AT HISTORY MUSEUM COLLABORATING WITH FOLKS LIKE INDIANA IS THAT BOTH SPENT YESTERDAY TRYING TO ACTUALLY CREATE RESOURCES FOR THAT, FRED, SO THAT YOUNG PEOPLE WOULD LEARN ABOUT THEIR HISTORY AND FINDING THAT WE HAD GO SHOOT PHOTOS OURSELVES A LITTLE BIT OF FRUSTRATION THAT I'M TRYING TO TRYING TO FIND LIKE JUST MOMENTS OF HISTORY IN OUR IN OUR CULTURE.

ABSOLUTELY.

IT WAS INCREDIBLY FRUSTRATING.

IT WAS ALSO REALLY DISHEARTENING BECAUSE I WAS LIKE I MATTER.

MY COMMUNITY MATTERS.

WHY NOBODY CARE ABOUT PRESERVING OUR STAR, AS YOU HAS A LONG HISTORY, VERY SO HISTORY.

SO TELL ME A LITTLE BIT ABOUT 90.

HOW DO YOU GO ABOUT CHOOSING THE DOCUMENTS?

VIDEO, AUDIO TAKE ME THROUGH THAT PROCESS WILL THANK YOU FOR ASKING BECAUSE OUR APPROACH IS I THINK A BIT UNIQUE, RIGHT FOR ONE.

WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE MAKE ACCESSIBLE ARE THE ARCHIVES THAT WE THEY'RE ALREADY OUT THERE IN THE EXIST.

SO WE WANT TO BUILD A DIRECTORY SO THAT THOSE BECOME ACCESSIBLE.

SO THAT FOLKS KNOW GO TO OUR WEBSITE.

YOU FIND OUT ABOUT EVERYTHING THAT IS ALREADY AVAILABLE AND OUT THERE.

WHETHER YOU'RE A STUDENT, A RESEARCHER OR AN ARTIST OR SOMEONE WHO WANTS TO LEARN ABOUT THEIR NEIGHBORHOOD.

BUT WE ALSO WANT TO WORK WITH THAT.

THE ORGANIZATIONS FOR THEM TO BE ABLE TO HAVE THE CAPACITY AND THE RESOURCES TO DO THEIR OWN ARCHIVING.

SO THAT'S THAT'S WHERE THE COALITION COMES IN AND PROFESSIONAL THE MOUNTAIN RESOURCES, PARTNERSHIPS AND COLLABORATION.

AND THEN OF COURSE, STORY TELLING PROJECTS TO ADDRESS A LOT OF THE INTERESTS NEEDS BUT ALSO GAPS IN THE STORIES THAT ARE REALLY NOT KNOWN OR UNDERSTOOD OR OR SOMETIMES GENERALIZED, YOU KNOW, OUR STORY SO COMPLEX AND SO DIVERSE RUNS OVER SO MUCH TIME, RIGHT?

AND IT'S A IT'S NOT FAIR PRICE.

PAYS.

WILL PEOPLE BE ABLE TO USE AS A TOOL?

WOULD YOU SAY YEAH, WE'RE A CAPACITY BUILDING ORGANIZATION.

SO WE'RE NOT INTEREST AND CENTRALIZING.

THE ARCHIVES WITH INVASIVE CHICAGO, WE BELIEVE IN THE POWER OF COMMUNAL STORYTELLING.

AND SO WE WANT TO SUPPORT ORGANIZATIONS TO TELL THEIR STORIES SO THAT WE CAN COLLABORATIVELY TELL A LARGER MORE COMPLEX STORY ABOUT CHICAGO AND THE FEW DOZEN CHICAGO AND THEY TOGETHER.

OF COURSE, WHAT FOUND INTERESTING IN 1980, THE U.S. CENSUS BUREAU REPORTED 40% THE NOSE MADE UP TO SHUT THE CHICAGO POPULATION.

NOW THERE'S SEEN AN INCREASE OF ALMOST 30%.

DANA, WHAT DO YOU THINK WHEN YOU HEAR NUMBERS LIKE THAT?

AND THANK YOU FOR THAT QUESTION.

I YOU KNOW, I THINK OF US.

SKEPTICAL ABOUT THOSE NUMBERS, RIGHT?

LIKE WHAT DOES IT HOW IS THIS DATA COLLECTED?

WE KNOW THAT FOR MANY YEARS, LATINOS WERE UNDER THE WEIGHT CATEGORY AND SENSES.

SO WE REALLY ACTUALLY DON'T HAVE ACCURATE NUMBERS.

BUT FOR ME, THOSE NUMBERS REALLY ARE SUPER EXCITING BECAUSE IT TELLS IS THERE'S SO MANY STORIES OUT THERE.

THERE'S LIKE WE WILL NOT STORY THAT YOU'VE MAYBE THIS DIDN'T KNOW OR YOU'RE LIKE, OH, MAYBE THIS IS WHAT PEOPLE SHOULD KNOW ABOUT.

DON'T FORGET ABOUT I MEAN, EVEN THE ONE THAT WE'RE WORKING ON RIGHT NOW, WE REACHED OUT TO BUY ANOTHER ORGANIZATION AND THEY WANT TO DOCUMENT THE HISTORY OF BEING AT THOSE WHO ARE ACTIVELY RENO REPRODUCING THIS BEAUTIFUL CULTURAL TREND, TRADITION, FOR EXAMPLE, AND THAT WE WOULD HAVE NOT THOUGHT TO DO THAT, BUT BECAUSE FOLKS CAME TO US AND NOW THAT THEY REALIZE THAT THEIR SUPPORT AND INTEREST IT'S BEEN IT'S BEEN REALLY INTERESTING.

IT WE CANNOT WAIT TO SEE THE ORAL HISTORIES AND THAT THE WAYS THAT WE'RE GOING TO SHOW THEM SHARE THEM WITH EVERYBODY ELSE IS INTERESTING, THOUGH, SOME OF THE PROJECTS YOU'RE WORKING ON, WE ALL OF DATA FOR YOU.

A COMMUNITY ORGANIZATION REACHED OUT TO US TO COORDINATE THE COLLECTING OF HISTORIES FOR FOLKS WHO HAVE BEEN FOR YEARS WORKING HAS BEEN AT THE MAKERS.

AND SO THEY KNOW THAT WE HAVE VERY GOOD ORAL HISTORY SKILLS, US HISTORIANS.

AND SO WE'RE REALLY EXCITED BECAUSE WE JUST ACTUALLY STARTED THE COLLECTING OF ORAL HISTORIES.

AND IT'S REALLY BEAUTIFUL TO BE ABLE TO LIKE SIT IN THE SPACES WHERE FOLKS CREATE.

WE WERE IN A CANDY STORE THIS THIS, THOUGH, YESTERDAY COLLECTING THE ORAL HISTORIES.

SO IT TAKES A DIFFERENT PLACES.

YEAH, ALL OVER THE CITY BECAUSE AND EVEN BEYOND LIMITS OF THE CITY, BECAUSE OUR STORIES ARE SO VAST AND THEY COVER THE ENTIRE CHICAGO LAND AREA NOT TO CHICAGO DEALS WITH MENTIONED THAT YOU WORK WITH OTHER ORGANIZATIONS TO TEACH STUDENTS HOW TO ARCHIVES.

TELL ME WHY THAT'S SO IMPORTANT.

I MEAN, IT'S IMPORTANT BECAUSE THE KIDS THAT THEIR HISTORY IS GETTING ERASED WITH EVERY YEAR THAT THEY DON'T HAVE A PLACE TO ACCESS.

THEY KNOW THAT THEIR CULTURAL IDENTITY IS NOT REINFORCE WHEN THEY CANNOT GO TO A PLACE WHERE THEIR IDENTITY AND THEIR HISTORY CELEBRATED FOR THAT.

FOR THAT REASON ALONE IS THIS WORK JUST TERRIBLY IMPORTANT RIGHT NOW.

SO TELL ME ABOUT AS WE KNOW, THERE'S HUNDREDS OF VENEZUELANS WHO'VE MADE THEIR WAY TO CHICAGO.

IS THAT SOMETHING YOU'RE ALSO THINKING ABOUT ABOUT HOW TO DOCUMENT THEIR STORIES IN YOU KNOW, AS AN UNDOCUMENTED PERSON FOR MANY YEARS AND WHEN I WAS YOUNG, I USED TO LIVE WITH THE FEAR THAT I WOULD BE DEPORTED AND DISAPPEARED AND NOBODY WOULD KNOW THAT I EXISTED IN CHICAGO.

AND SO THAT IDEA OF GETTING LOST IN THE MOVEMENT OF PEOPLE ACROSS BORDERS SPACE AND TIME WITH SOMETHING THAT I THOUGHT ABOUT.

AND SO WE'RE MOST DEFINITELY VERY INTERESTED IN ENSURING THAT THE FOLKS WHO ARE COMING TO CHICAGO UNDERSTAND THAT JUST LIKE THOSE WHO CAME BEFORE AND THOSE WHO ARE COMING NOW LIGHT WE MATTER.

WE ARE CHICAGO AND WE WILL.

WE WILL BE HERE AND WE'RE SO EXCITED TO COLLECT THOSE STORIES.

BUT ALSO FUN.

INTERESTING IS WHEN I GO INTO YOUR IS INSTAGRAM, YOU ASKED PEOPLE TO SUBMIT THEIR STORIES.

WHAT WAS THE PURPOSE FOR PEOPLE WANT TO SHARE THEM WITH EVERYONE.

THAT YOU KNOW, WE TALK A GIRL PRIDE IN THEIR HOUSE AND WE HAD CELEBRATIONS.

WE WOULD ALWAYS GATHER AND TALK.

IT'S ALMOST LIKE I NEED.

PEOPLE WANTED TELL THEIR STORY TO HEAL.

WE NEED TO SHARE THEM WITH WITH ONE ANOTHER TO HEAL, TO GET ALONG TO BETTER UNDERSTAND ONE ANOTHER.

I WOULD SAY IT'S A HUMAN NEED AND USE RIGHT.

NOT EVEN A YEAR AGO WE JANUARY OUR WEB SITE LAUNCHED THIS BEEN, YOU KNOW, 7 MONTHS.

PLUS, AND WE ARE BEAUTIFULLY SURPRISED HOW MUCH THE POSITIVE RESPONSE HAS BEEN.

WELL, THANK YOU.
