Because I know even we've had conversations about the father and they should and and when we first spoke about our movie being so excited about it.
0:55:00
And it's definitely one of the things I think we do need to make sure that we're uplifting, we're talking about.
0:55:04
Because actually, we are a council of women.
0:55:07
But we also know about equity, and we know how it feels sometimes not to be part of the conversation.
0:55:12
And the father part is often not talked about, and they also need support.
0:55:16
And so we definitely wanna make sure that we're supporting that program and uplifting it.
0:55:21
And Kevin Riley has been very adamant about it, you know, he does his dad gang stuff.
0:55:26
And, you know, there's a lot of young men doing great things, especially promoting fatherhood we wanna make sure that we're also supporting that because that's just the fatherhood is about family.
0:55:34
And so we wanna make sure as we're moving forward, we continue to push forward.
