But it's it's important, I think, because it it's it's greater than than each of us as as individuals.
1:52:35
We're speaking for a whole entire community of women that haven't yet found their voices.
1:52:41
And who's who your advocacy has the potential to help change.
1:52:46
And so I, you know, I thank you for that because I know that it is an easy, but you guys are kicking ass.
1:52:53
And I don't know if that's a word that we can maybe scratch off the But I I I I said it and I stand by it.
1:53:00
I'm really, really proud of you guys and and and excited to hear, you know, all of the ideas that you're bringing to the table on ways that we could change the system so that they're better for the next generation.
1:53:12
And, hopefully, we won't have, you know, too many of those, and and and domestic violence is not something that we're seeing as prevalently in the near future.
1:53:21
But in the meantime, it's important to continue to share our story and to advocate those at all that haven't yet found their voice.
