30 Days of Preparedness starts with a plan. Without a plan you and your family will run around like a chicken with its head cut off. So what kind of PLAN do you need? You will need a PLAN for every contingency that you may encounter but first and foremost you need to start with a binder to keep your PLANS in. So here is a guide for you to look at and possibly follow: I.) Get a binder with separation sleeves and lots of paper. For every PLAN YOU MAKE UNDERSTAND YOU WILL MAKE CHANGES! Although you may write it you will find that you will have to change your PLAN as things do change. II.) Natural Disasters that shuts down the resupply chain A.) Depending on your area the natural disaster that can affect you will vary: 1.) Avalanche 2.) Drought 3.) Earthquakes 4.) Extreme Heat 5.) Floods 6.) Hurricanes 7.) Landslides & Debris Flow 8.) Pandemic 9.) Power Outages 10.) Severe Weather 11.) Snowstorms & Extreme Cold 12.) Thunderstorms & Lightning 13.) Tornadoes 14.) Tsunamis 15.) Volcanoes (Think Mt St. Helens, Wa & Hawaii) 16.) Wildfires B.) Man made disasters 1.) Active Shooter 2.) Attacks in Public Places 3.) Bioterrorism 4.) Chemical Emergencies 5.) Cybersecurity 6.) Explosions 7.) Economic Collapse 7.) Hazardous Materials Incidents 8.) Home Fires 9.) Household Chemical Emergencies 10.) Nuclear Explosion 11.) Nuclear Power Plants 12.) Power Outages 13.) Radiological Dispersion Device 14.) Recovering from Disaster These are only a few of the possible disasters that you can face. The good news is that one plan can cover some if not most of these disasters. But the question becomes how to make a PLAN. You need to ask yourself what is your goal. That is what is it that you wish to accomplish. When a disaster happens you have only two choices: SHOULD I STAY OR CAN I STAY! Your decision can and will affect you and your family as to if you live or die. You live near the ocean and a very strong hurricane is coming do you stay or do you leave? This means you will need to have 2 PLANS. One if you stay another if you leave. When you make a plan, you need to consider the supplies, equipment, expertise, and experience need to operate, maintain, or sustain you during your emergency needs. I suggest that you start small and localize your PLAN for you and your family. If the power goes out what supplies, equipment, and food do you have on hand. Is it handy to reach or is it spread out throughout your house. If someone needs medical treatment how fast can you reach your first aid kit? Is it well stock? Do you have the expertise necessary to apply this medical treatment? What you will discover is that you are whoa fully under prepared. You are sadly lacking not only in supplies, equipment, and expertise; but, experience as well. THIS IS A GOOD THING. This is where you start to prepare for the unknown so that when the unknown strikes you will be better prepared to survive the emergency/ disaster. In fact you might be able to overcome said disaster or emergency. If you need help in making a PLAN don't hesitate to ask. Lesia, myself and those that are in this collaboration are willing to assist you. Remember, this is for your survival.
Good lists and having lived in a hurricane area, I can relate to these - true story. I pack up and leave about 2am (college refused to close down until 11pm when hurricane was coming on land at our place) so headed to GA and called Holiday day inns as a member. Well, since I was so late, all of I95 and I75 were booked all the way to N CA. So, I asked if there was central S GA place that I could get to in the pitch black nighttime. They gave me one. I arrived at the hotel and told them what I was doing and they laughed. They said - oh, we get everyone of those no matter which shore they come in on and we flood - whole town - Joy Joy, but all ended well that time. I had just lost my husband in hurricane #1 of that year and did not have him to assist me and was in shock anyway. But, the good Lord got me back home and back to work for one more week, when the next one hit that year 2004. And, I did not leave after following the projected path and it did skip S FL. Rough year! LONG STORY SHORT! Your lists are good Cliff - gives us things to think about that we may not think are relevant until caught up in the actual incident.
Thank you SO MUCH for organizing this! I am very honored to be a part of this collaboration series. I agree with what you've listed in this kick off video for the collaboration in regards to creating a plan. Prepping can easily become overwhelming, and without a plan it go get daunting very quickly. Excellent information!
Fantastic content! So so glad you and the others have complied this collage of resources. This is my nudge to step forward and plan with my family. Very grateful! Be blessed
Leisa, you are truly an angel. I just got here today - but better late than never -- this is exciting to hear so many perspectives. TY for putting in this work to share with us.
Thank you for sharing this information it’s very important to know what’s going on around you and to make sure you are prepared. Living in Missouri we have tornadoes 🌪 so making sure you have the right equipment and supplies is very important for safety.
Thanks for putting this collab together. As a long time prepper, there are always more things to learn about and prepare for. I was not fully prepared for a pandemic, but did have plenty of food, toilet paper, hand sanitizer, bleach & masks. :)
Same here! When I started seeing the "pandemic" move beyond China, I ordered masks, etc. I paid about $6 per box. The following week, it was $40 for a box!
@@jacquelynfales4661 I ordered some heavy cream powder to make my powdered milk taste better. Adding a bit of vanilla flavoring also improves the taste of nonfat milk powder..
I'm new to all of this but for me this is perfect timing...im in north louisiana so we just delt with Laura and just got power back last night. We sadly was not prepared but im definitely not going to be cought like that again.
I was watching him do an experiment on pressure canning eggs! I thought, "IT'S GONNA BLOW"! He didn't get egg all over the place, but I decided NOT to try eggs in a pressure cooker! He's a sweet guy! I love his generosity to those around him..
Thank you to all of the folks in this collaboration. I am sure there is much to learn. I am looking forward to the different and varied views on this subject. I have already had the conversation a year or so ago and this year has brought it more into focus for my hubby. He thought my canning bug was crazy but now understands it. I've got my notebook handy.
I have emergency alerts set up from the Weather Channel , FEMA, and my local/state emergency management. I wish my husband was more on board with this. But I realize it’s not everyone’s forte. Thanks for the great video!
Hi sweet lady, just watched Freedom Homestead and they mentioned you. Enjoyed your wonderful information here lots of great things to consider. Just subscribed and looking forward to getting to know you. Have a wonderful day, Lisa from moneypit homestead
Thank You All for your time effort and energy to do this for us!!!! God Bless you and your family from middle GA 🙏 can't wait to see all the videos this month
Without a plan, we're planning to fail. I've certainly gone through instances in which I've had no plan and have truly regretted it later. Live and learn, but we can also start out by having a plan right off the bat so we at least have a baseline to be ready to adapt as needed. Great video!
I don't trust our local media thanks to their coverage or lack there of from Mathew. Just before Florence I put the FEMA weather app on my phone and i Love it for storms. I had to sign up for 2 counties because I live on the county line. On the other side of the woods across the street from our house is the next county.
@@SuttonsDaze No problem. NOAA has an app too. My husband has it on his phone for work. He's become the 'go to guy' for hurricane info. Not realizing he gets his info from me usually. He's told them follow NOAA on FB you'll get everything.
I work in a pharmacy in upstate NY. We are seeing some shortages in medications. Several are "alocated" for the quantities we can order. We cannot get alcohol, hydrogen peroxide, or liquid hand soap. Thermometers, vaporizers and gloves are in short supply. In the grocery stores, I am noticing bulk items....rice, dry beans, corn meal, pastas are very low stock. Paper towels are iffy. Cider vinegar is hard to find. Canning supplies are gone. Last week, my local Walmart had no milk. No reason given. I see major food shortages coming. With the fires out west, derecho in Iowa, flooding in the gulf.....not to mention all the milk dumping and animal slaughter during COVID. People do not realize we are still eating food from last year. I believe shortages will show soon. Please be sure to check your first aid supplies. Buy OTC items you use....vitamins, Tylenol, antacids, Anvil, cough and cold remedies.....and if you work with yarn or cloth, buy supplies NOW.....thread, notions.....We don't make those products in this country any more. Dark days are coming. It may be a very long winter.
Leisa this will be great. I do think about what to do about the colder months, and worry about that. It will be interesting getting different ideas on things. Looking forward to this.
@Jay P 🙋. Upcoming Winter; heavy blankets, sleeping bags (can also be used to wrap fridge for longer remaining cold temp during power loss), wool/alpaca/fleece socks, thermal underwear, fleece clothing & blankets, hats, gloves, extra winter jacket for each (a heavier one), etc. Think living outside if there's no heating source available. If investing in wood stove, spend extra $ to get one with a cook top ( resolves 2 issues). Also check out @Alaska Prepper @Angry Prepper @Princess Prepper @PrepperNurse1 @PrepperNow1. They're numerous amounts of reliable, trustworthy preppers on yt. @SuttonDaze is one of my favorites ❤️. Down to Earth, experienced, practical and frugal prepper, my favorite qualities in a prepper!
@@marthaadams8326 If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me ☺️. I have lists for every room, situations, disabled, children, dogs/cats, bugging in. I haven't done anything on my channel as I feel there's too many experienced Preppers to gain insight from. These are my lists of trials and errors, life's actual experiences, etc..
California here! Earthquakes! Fires! Draught! {Sigh} I need a better plan.. I have the "stuff", but it's not organized. I need to prep my van, and I need to reorganize my Go bag! I decided to put my Go bag stuff in a black, rolling duffle bag. One bag on wheels, everything easily accessible, and it won't hurt my back.. I needed this reminder! 💞🕊
Love this Thank You for the much needed information... FYI I have watched several YT videos stating NOT to buy Peanut Butter for long term storage, so I did some research and PB can be frozen for long periods ..I used my Food Saver and froze all my jars and placed in my upright freezer .. Everything worked out .. I live in Florida we prepare for Hurricanes .. would like to know how to safely store gasoline for our generators ????
I am so excited for this!!! To someone that is new to preparing this will really give a sense of direction instead of being overwhelmed. Thank you Leisa and others for making this happen!
@@SuttonsDaze Any thing else outlawed? There are propane stoves that are made to heat in the house, but have to have air flow and lots of propane in storage. Can you get outside of the city limits???
Although I've been a serious prepper for eleven years, I'm still learning and look forward to whatever others share on their paths to preparedness and self-sufficiency. Thanks to you and all the others on the list that are sharing their insights, experience and expertise as we all work toward that goal. :-D
This is awesome. Can't wait to listen to more. There was mention of an alert system that she belonged to for 20 years for weather, etc. I don't see the link. Does anyone know what that is? Thanks!
Leisa, help, I have not been able to be notified of the 30 day plan since prepared potpourri. I hit your play list and I didn't get any where. Have a minute between garden coming in and would like to catch up.
Which is easier to carry in your opinion a backpack with a frame or without? Dies anyone have some links or in their store some supplies that may be harder to get like camping situations emergency blankets, wool socks to put fire Rocks in to keep warm, etc. If you want to charge cell phone 9 volts wil car charger and key you can charge. Charger goes on one end of battery and key on the other as cord plugged in key taped against the metal on charger. Also a pocket chain saw, 3 at least for fire starting. Shelters, sleeping bag.
I coming up blank? We got new house it got gas but I can’t think what I can you for heat? We don’t gas hook up for wall panel. Besides stove what can I use ?
Everything I can see here in the Ozarks have same outcome; lost of electricity. 2009 ice storm no grid for 23 days, one year later, a 16” snow; 21 days off grid. A near-by tornado off grid a week. All my plans center around loss of electricity. I could add to that fire and health. I am 80 years old with major injuries to knees low back and a torn rotator cuff. No more lifting and four minute miles. LOL Those days are long gone. Been prepping since early 1970’s for entire family;Three grown kids, five grown grandchildren and two great grandchildren (babies).
Jacquelyn, time to get a generator for the house. You can get one that is stationary and will come on when your power goes out. Hopefully one of the collaboration will cover this issue. If not ask me later and I will help you out. :-)
Jumpoff A I have a propane generator duel fuel. Fuel will will not last forever. I lived on this mountain for. 11 years in a cabin with only a 12 volt light using an inverter for any 110 needs. I ran a 35 doe rabbitry using a spreadsheet. Sold 3200-3300 kits a year. In a real grid down I have collected or bought manual tools, plus I know how to live without electricity. Biggest deal will be lack of fuel for generator. I have a 500 gallon tank. That at best is 400 gallons of propane plus a couple of 35 gallon tanks. Other fuel for garden equipment would will run out faster even with gas in storage. I expect an EMP which will put us off grid for many years. We have always been first down and last back up. I have a mindset that I can handle living in the 1850’s again. I am set except for a horse and buggy.
@@jacquelynfales4661 That is great. But like you said you will always need fuel. What if you had a (Wind Turbine) Generator. It is like a pinwheel and it makes electricity when the wind blows. When you don't need the extra power you can shut it down. With a battery back-up you will have the power when you need it. The overall cost can be a few hundred dollars, simple to put in, can be put where you won't hear it and generate free electricity. If you have a continuous flow of water, you can have a water generator. I can even give you directions how to get electric power to light up your room without a battery or electric cord. All you need is a magnet, spark plug and a light bulb. Sounds too good to be true? It can be done. You will have light when all around you sits in the dark. :-)
@@jumpoffa5011 More on the power with a windmill and the magnet, spark plug and a light bulb please My farm used to have wind, but with this weather now - never know -solar is producing, but not as much as I would like right now. And, the panels have to be washed all the time.
@@marthaadams8326 If you have solar panels like I do that is great. What I do is take tin foil and a large piece of cardboard and create a large reflective mirror. I have the mirror aimed at the solar panels to increase the sunlight on the panels. It really helps in the winter when the sun has shifted. If you put this mirror on a tri-pod you can have a timer move the mirror as the sun moves across the sky. I use the water method. I allow the weight of the water move the panel in the direction I need the panel to keep a steady light on the solar panels. :-)
Leisa, I absolutely love you and your channel. I have been a subscribed for a while now, so I sincerely trust what you say and value your opinions. That said, some of the channels you are featuring in your 30-days of prep are troublesome to put it kindly. I went to the links of those channels and watched some of their videos, and I was SHOCKED at their videos. Their recent videos are not what I think of when I think preparedness. I will not watch their videos (2 or 3 channels in your list). That's my opinion, but to each their own but I draw the line with outright lies to scare people and create fear and more division in our country--it isn't about us and them, we are all Americans. Perhaps I am wrong about those channels, but that is the impression I got for their most recent videos. As for the rest of the channels and your videos on prep, I am looking forward to those and I did sub to a few of the new channels on prep I didn't know about. Thanks for doing this series, so much to learn :) p.s. I understand if you delete my comment, but I, as your sub, wanted you to know (in case you were unaware).
I also am concerned at the amount of fear that some of the people put up. But, also many of them have good practical advice about prepping and making meals with your preps.
I have a great question.... Ask yourself, what would you bring, if you had 5 minutes to leave? 10 minutes? 30 minutes? If you're lucky, a few hours, maybe even a day. I "challenged" my kids, "if we had five minutes to gather up your favorite things, what would you bring?" They had no idea... They did grab a case of water and potato chips. Blankets and pillows. Books and stuffed animals. One of them grabbed a croquet game. Lol... Then I showed them what I would grab.
That is easy. I would have the things that I would need pre boxed/bagged in a closet staged by the door . There would be a bug out bag for each member of the family including the pets. The only thing I would grab is the family jewelry, photos and important papers which are in a pre arrange location/ easy to get to. :-)
@@jumpoffa5011 I put a copy of all the legal papers in copies at my accountants office in her safe. She is also my executor - so it makes it a lot easier for her. I am thinking that maybe my farm papers should be with her too. Any suggestions on a list - because with a farm, there's lots of equipment and paperwork.
@@marthaadams8326 By all means make an inventory of your farm equipment, (with photographs and id numbers) and any other important farm paperwork. You can take a photo of all your documents, farm equipment, and put it on a photo stick. You keep the photo stick with your records and allow your friend to keep the hard copies in her office. This way if anything goes wrong at either end you are covered.
@@jumpoffa5011 I have all the files that came with the equipment - but I did that in FL after I heard friends who lost their homes tell me that they had to give a complete up to date inventory to get their insurance paid. UGH! So, in hurricanes, I took the camera, opened the cabinets and took pictures before I evacuated in every room. Something else to add to the list - good that I am feeling better - seems like time is limited to get prepared.
You make assumptions that everyone has a TV and a cell phone. I don't and have been a prepper for 30 + years. I live in a very rural area. Do have a computer and a land line and it is enough.
So excited for this video! Ive been waiting patiently all day, just kidding I’ve been stalking your videos like every 5 mins! Lol jk... So happy about this series Leisa! You rock!

You and prepper potpourri rock! I am very excited about this too!
What an awesome topic, thank you for helping to get us all prepared
Love this Thank You for the much needed information... FYI I have watched several YT videos stating NOT to buy Peanut Butter for long term storage, so I did some research and PB can be frozen for long periods ..I used my Food Saver and froze all my jars and placed in my upright freezer .. Everything worked out .. I live in Florida we prepare for Hurricanes .. would like to know how to safely store gasoline for our generators ????
I am so excited for this!!! To someone that is new to preparing this will really give a sense of direction instead of being overwhelmed. Thank you Leisa and others for making this happen!
I am stu k on what to do for heat here in Minnesota. I can't put in a wood stove because the city has outlawed them.
Ok, let's brainstorm.
What scenario are you considering?
@@SuttonsDaze Any thing else outlawed? There are propane stoves that are made to heat in the house, but have to have air flow and lots of propane in storage.
Can you get outside of the city limits???
And, on Prepper potpourri she mentioned an emergency blanket. That would be great to hold in your heat.
Although I've been a serious prepper for eleven years, I'm still learning and look forward to whatever others share on their paths to preparedness and self-sufficiency. Thanks to you and all the others on the list that are sharing their insights, experience and expertise as we all work toward that goal. :-D
I L8KE TO KNOW MORE ON THIS PLEASE
What a great list of preppers! Excited to see them all.
This is great! Thank you.
This is awesome. Can't wait to listen to more. There was mention of an alert system that she belonged to for 20 years for weather, etc. I don't see the link. Does anyone know what that is? Thanks!

I am fixing to can pork, it's like stew meat but pork. Do I add any water to the jar?
If you raw pack it, no.
If you brown it, yes add liquid.
@@SuttonsDaze Thank you
Leisa, help, I have not been able to be notified of the 30 day plan since prepared potpourri. I hit your play list and I didn't get any where. Have a minute between garden coming in and would like to catch up.

This is awesome. Thank you for putting this together.
Which is easier to carry in your opinion a backpack with a frame or without? Dies anyone have some links or in their store some supplies that may be harder to get like camping situations emergency blankets, wool socks to put fire Rocks in to keep warm, etc. If you want to charge cell phone 9 volts wil car charger and key you can charge. Charger goes on one end of battery and key on the other as cord plugged in key taped against the metal on charger. Also a pocket chain saw, 3 at least for fire starting. Shelters, sleeping bag.
Keep watching, i'll have a lot of suggestions for what is in our pack.
@@SuttonsDaze Thank you!
I coming up blank? We got new house it got gas but I can’t think what I can you for heat? We don’t gas hook up for wall panel. Besides stove what can I use ?
Everything I can see here in the Ozarks have same outcome; lost of electricity. 2009 ice storm no grid for 23 days, one year later, a 16” snow; 21 days off grid. A near-by tornado off grid a week. All my plans center around loss of electricity. I could add to that fire and health. I am 80 years old with major injuries to knees low back and a torn rotator cuff. No more lifting and four minute miles. LOL Those days are long gone. Been prepping since early 1970’s for entire family;Three grown kids, five grown grandchildren and two great grandchildren (babies).
Jacquelyn, time to get a generator for the house. You can get one that is stationary and will come on when your power goes out. Hopefully one of the collaboration will cover this issue. If not ask me later and I will help you out. :-)
Jumpoff A I have a propane generator duel fuel. Fuel will will not last forever. I lived on this mountain for. 11 years in a cabin with only a 12 volt light using an inverter for any 110 needs. I ran a 35 doe rabbitry using a spreadsheet. Sold 3200-3300 kits a year. In a real grid down I have collected or bought manual tools, plus I know how to live without electricity. Biggest deal will be lack of fuel for generator. I have a 500 gallon tank. That at best is 400 gallons of propane plus a couple of 35 gallon tanks. Other fuel for garden equipment would will run out faster even with gas in storage. I expect an EMP which will put us off grid for many years. We have always been first down and last back up. I have a mindset that I can handle living in the 1850’s again. I am set except for a horse and buggy.
@@jacquelynfales4661 That is great. But like you said you will always need fuel. What if you had a (Wind Turbine) Generator. It is like a pinwheel and it makes electricity when the wind blows. When you don't need the extra power you can shut it down. With a battery back-up you will have the power when you need it. The overall cost can be a few hundred dollars, simple to put in, can be put where you won't hear it and generate free electricity. If you have a continuous flow of water, you can have a water generator. I can even give you directions how to get electric power to light up your room without a battery or electric cord. All you need is a magnet, spark plug and a light bulb. Sounds too good to be true? It can be done. You will have light when all around you sits in the dark. :-)
@@jumpoffa5011 More on the power with a windmill and the magnet, spark plug and a light bulb please My farm used to have wind, but with this weather now - never know -solar is producing, but not as much as I would like right now. And, the panels have to be washed all the time.
@@marthaadams8326 If you have solar panels like I do that is great. What I do is take tin foil and a large piece of cardboard and create a large reflective mirror. I have the mirror aimed at the solar panels to increase the sunlight on the panels. It really helps in the winter when the sun has shifted. If you put this mirror on a tri-pod you can have a timer move the mirror as the sun moves across the sky. I use the water method. I allow the weight of the water move the panel in the direction I need the panel to keep a steady light on the solar panels. :-)
Great collaboration!
no one listens to me! its just me and my 6 year old!
I am so excited about this I just love your channel. I feel like I am visiting a best girlfriend this community is marvelous.
Leisa, I absolutely love you and your channel. I have been a subscribed for a while now, so I sincerely trust what you say and value your opinions. That said, some of the channels you are featuring in your 30-days of prep are troublesome to put it kindly. I went to the links of those channels and watched some of their videos, and I was SHOCKED at their videos. Their recent videos are not what I think of when I think preparedness. I will not watch their videos (2 or 3 channels in your list). That's my opinion, but to each their own but I draw the line with outright lies to scare people and create fear and more division in our country--it isn't about us and them, we are all Americans. Perhaps I am wrong about those channels, but that is the impression I got for their most recent videos. As for the rest of the channels and your videos on prep, I am looking forward to those and I did sub to a few of the new channels on prep I didn't know about. Thanks for doing this series, so much to learn :)
p.s. I understand if you delete my comment, but I, as your sub, wanted you to know (in case you were unaware).
Thank you for your heads up. As with all things, take what you need, leave the rest :-)
I look forward to your thoughts at the end of the month.
I also am concerned at the amount of fear that some of the people put up. But, also many of them have good practical advice about prepping and making meals with your preps.
I'll be watching!!
Happy Anniversary Leisa. :-)
Do you have thrive life we can buy from you or just from the company
Thank you! My link is thrivelife.com/suttonsdaze
So much fun!!!Yes!!!
I have a great question.... Ask yourself, what would you bring, if you had 5 minutes to leave? 10 minutes? 30 minutes? If you're lucky, a few hours, maybe even a day.
I "challenged" my kids, "if we had five minutes to gather up your favorite things, what would you bring?" They had no idea... They did grab a case of water and potato chips. Blankets and pillows. Books and stuffed animals. One of them grabbed a croquet game. Lol... Then I showed them what I would grab.
That is easy. I would have the things that I would need pre boxed/bagged in a closet staged by the door . There would be a bug out bag for each member of the family including the pets. The only thing I would grab is the family jewelry, photos and important papers which are in a pre arrange location/ easy to get to. :-)
@@jumpoffa5011 I put a copy of all the legal papers in copies at my accountants office in her safe. She is also my executor - so it makes it a lot easier for her. I am thinking that maybe my farm papers should be with her too. Any suggestions on a list - because with a farm, there's lots of equipment and paperwork.
@@marthaadams8326 By all means make an inventory of your farm equipment, (with photographs and id numbers) and any other important farm paperwork. You can take a photo of all your documents, farm equipment, and put it on a photo stick. You keep the photo stick with your records and allow your friend to keep the hard copies in her office. This way if anything goes wrong at either end you are covered.
@@jumpoffa5011 I have all the files that came with the equipment - but I did that in FL after I heard friends who lost their homes tell me that they had to give a complete up to date inventory to get their insurance paid. UGH! So, in hurricanes, I took the camera, opened the cabinets and took pictures before I evacuated in every room.
Something else to add to the list - good that I am feeling better - seems like time is limited to get prepared.
@@marthaadams8326 It is a never ending "Update."
You make assumptions that everyone has a TV and a cell phone. I don't and have been a prepper for 30 + years. I live in a very rural area. Do have a computer and a land line and it is enough.
The links to the other sites aren’t “clickable”
Ugh!
They are now :-)
Prepperpalooza!
So excited for this video! Ive been waiting patiently all day, just kidding I’ve been stalking your videos like every 5 mins! Lol jk... So happy about this series Leisa! You rock!
This is amazing I just found out yall did this. This is what the feminist movement should be in the media! Good job
