[00:00:00:04 – 00:00:17:27]
Speaker 1
I hope boys and girls it’s it’s time for another Jeep talk show interview episode. And today we’re going to do three people at once to two guests, one host. So joining us today is Anastasia Kim Carter Carpenter, better known as Grenadier. Is it Grenadier?
[00:00:23:09 – 00:00:30:16]
Speaker 1
Yeah, yeah, don’t, don’t read ahead. I just wanted to know how to pronounce how to pronounce Grenadier. There
[00:00:31:19 – 00:00:34:09]
Speaker 1
you go. All right. Now take a break and just listen.
[00:00:37:28 – 00:01:02:17]
Speaker 1
Any us? Uh, let’s see. How would I pronounce that? Uh, oh, well, we’ll never know. Uh, trial girl. I hate that trial. That’s trail. That is a complete mistyping thing that everybody does. Uh, and I looked that up. We’ll talk about more about that later. Uh, but, uh, yeah, uh, Grenadier, uh, trial girl and founder of women’s anyos that’s how I pronounce it.
[00:01:04:04 – 00:01:04:20]
Speaker 1
Is that right?
[00:01:06:05 – 00:01:07:10]
Speaker 1
All right. Uh,
[00:01:09:20 – 00:01:15:04]
Speaker 1
all right. So she’s a former, is it, uh, vaga Nova? Is that how you pronounce that?
[00:01:19:13 – 00:01:25:26]
Speaker 1
Is this like target and target? My wife drive me nuts with that. I had no idea where target was. Yeah.
[00:01:29:04 – 00:01:57:29]
Speaker 1
Dancer at long time. See, I’m not even going to try again. I’m just going to move along. Uh, dancer at long time educator who grew up driving Toyota land cruisers and now pilots a trial master Grenadier, uh, while building a global community of women off rotors, she’s been with us before. And that’s one of the reasons why I’m giving her a hard time is, is, uh, I know we’re pretty good from, from being on here before, uh, people are going, I don’t want to be on that show. I don’t want to be in an interviewee. He’s rough on them.
[00:02:01:03 – 00:02:22:09]
Speaker 1
And today she’s back with us, uh, to talk trail life or trial life. Uh, her club, why she’s the eyeing at a ballerina theme Jeep of her own. Joining us as well as Chris, a Jeep owner, the sane one of the group, uh, motorcycle and Hunter and partner in crime. Welcome back in Estasia and welcome Chris for the first time.
[00:02:26:11 – 00:02:27:07]
Speaker 1
All right. So,
[00:02:28:22 – 00:02:56:16]
Speaker 1
so let me answer this, Chris. Uh, this is, I mean, I’m not saying it would be, wouldn’t be fun, but this has to be a challenge for you every day. Uh, because she’s, she’s wild. I mean, the, the smiles, the, the wildness, uh, she’s just busy all the time. Do you ever just take, go to the bathroom and take a nap? Uh, and then the, there’s a knock on the door. What are you doing in there? What are you doing? You need to come out here and entertain me.
[00:02:59:21 – 00:03:04:05]
Speaker 1
Thank,
[00:03:05:24 – 00:03:09:08]
Speaker 1
thank God. She’s short. Otherwise she would have take the, take the hinges off the door.
[00:03:12:05 – 00:03:14:02]
Speaker 2
All right.
[00:03:16:13 – 00:04:02:03]
Speaker 1
So let me, the basic question here, uh, why a grenadier, why not a Jeep? A Jeep would be so much easier. You already have a Jeep in the family. I can certainly understand why you’d want your own Jeep. Uh, but, uh, why, why a grenadier? I mean, it’s a cool, it’s a cool bus, but it actually Chris, I, Chris got to meet Chris recently. I forget what event that wall that you guys were at, but Chris said that when okay, Chris, Chris told me that whenever he talked to you, Chris, that it was a, you had done a lot to your Jeep. You had a very, um, modified off-road capable, uh, Jeep. And, uh, did, uh, did she, I mean, she sees that she rides in that. Why wouldn’t she want one like it?
[00:04:23:03 – 00:04:26:04]
Speaker 1
He wants, he wants a second Jeep is really what the truth is.
[00:04:46:22 – 00:04:54:19]
Speaker 1
Chris, were you worried of the timeframe or that you were even getting another Jeep or is this your first time hearing about it? Cause that’s, that’s the kind of person I think she is.
[00:04:55:20 – 00:04:57:01]
Speaker 1
Okay. Okay.
[00:05:24:20 – 00:05:32:04]
Speaker 2
Yeah.
[00:05:32:04 – 00:06:44:29]
Speaker 1
So that’s really cool, especially when it’s their anniversary and not like your birthday or something. So that’s really very nice. Um, so the, the Grenadier, if people don’t know, cause I didn’t know anything about it until I first spoke with you, uh, for saw you on Instagram. Um, they are, they are cool looking vehicles. They kind of have a seven 47 layout with all the buttons and switches of stuff up high and, uh, it’s, it’s neat, but, uh, it doesn’t seem to be as capable off-road. I’m not saying you can’t drive it off-road because you could drive anything off-road. It just seems like it would be more of a challenge, uh, to drive it off-road. And I’m assuming, you know, because your husband has a, has a Jeep about which one you may, your preference may be Grenadier, but as far as off-road capability, which one would you, would you say are they about even or they, is the Jeep more Jeepy or maybe it’s more Jeepy with all the modifications he’s made. Uh,
[00:06:52:29 – 00:06:59:16]
(Inaudible)
[00:07:08:04 – 00:07:08:13]
Speaker 2
Yeah.
[00:07:38:14 – 00:07:45:01]
(Inaudible)
[00:07:48:26 – 00:07:49:27]
Speaker 1
Oh my goodness.
[00:07:51:13 – 00:07:51:27]
Speaker 1
Yeah.
[00:08:21:28 – 00:08:26:02]
(Inaudible)
[00:08:48:24 – 00:08:49:03]
Speaker 2
Right.
[00:09:51:09 – 00:10:05:19]
Speaker 1
And, and if, if people don’t know bypass is always an option. And if you think you need to do a bypass, you need to do the bypass. Don’t don’t do stuff just because people are, people are watching or some pretty girl is going to chew on your ass about being a
[00:10:05:19 – 00:10:11:19]
Speaker 1
because you didn’t, uh, didn’t take the trail. So do what you think is best for you and more.
[00:10:13:12 – 00:10:23:01]
Speaker 1
And more importantly, your rig, cause you don’t want to tear up your rig simply because you’re trying to pretend you’re something you’re not ready for. Chris. Uh, so I think we’ve established.
[00:10:37:03 – 00:10:39:18]
Speaker 1
Yeah. Yeah. They get, they get heavy when you start modifying them.
[00:11:27:18 – 00:11:51:21]
Speaker 1
Yeah. Well, so many people have gotten, uh, gotten themselves in trouble because, Oh, I got a winch or, Oh, my buddy’s here. And so, and so forth. Uh, yeah, there’s a lot of broken parts and, uh, stuck, uh, stuck vehicles because of, uh, because of a bench. Um, but, uh, Chris, I was going to ask you about your, about your Jeep. Uh, tell, tell the folks what, uh, what, which Jeep you have. Uh, we know it’s a Jeep, but, uh, year and model.
[00:12:23:25 – 00:12:24:21]
Speaker 1
Oh, the knuckles.
[00:12:38:04 – 00:12:50:24]
Speaker 1
Right. Yeah. It reminds me if you guys remember back whenever they were doing computer monitors and they would call it a 14 inch monitor or a 17 inch monitor and they were counting the width of the bezel. Like this ain’t no 14
[00:12:50:24 – 00:12:55:23]
Speaker 1
12 inch monitor. Yeah. So the tires, if you guys already know.
[00:12:57:11 – 00:13:09:08]
Speaker 1
Oh yeah. Yeah. Or the, the, before the date story. So the. Oh.
[00:13:20:27 – 00:13:30:24]
Speaker 1
Does it, does it, Chris, does it count? Does it count to get into Valhalla if your wife kills you? I don’t think even if it’s a righteous battle, I don’t think that that counts.
[00:13:38:08 – 00:13:53:08]
Speaker 1
Isn’t it, isn’t it fun when the little tiny ones are just so mean? It’s so much fun. My wife lied to me. She told me she was five foot four. Like I cared. She told me she was five foot four after we were married. I found out, found out that was with heels on.
[00:13:56:04 – 00:13:57:07]
Speaker 1
I don’t care.
[00:13:59:26 – 00:14:41:01]
Speaker 1
I’m not six three though. Oh, this is funny. That has nothing to do with this conversation, but Chris will be able to identify if not now in the future. So I’ve always been six foot and a half. It was literally on my driver’s license. That half inch is like being 12 and a half, you know, when you’re a kid, you know, like I’m almost 13 or I’m almost 12 and the guys do that because height is always so close. And so I liked that six foot and a half inch. And then here recently, I’m obviously older now than what I was when I was much younger and I went to the doctor and one of the things they did for the physical they have to do over so often was measuring five foot 11. I made them double check that.
[00:14:43:02 – 00:14:45:11]
Speaker 1
There ain’t no way. Yes.
[00:14:46:16 – 00:14:55:16]
Speaker 1
And you know how I covered with it. I used to lift weights. So I figured it was because lifting weights, you know, it compressed my, my. My vertebrae’s and that’s where that half inch went.
[00:15:00:06 – 00:15:01:04]
Speaker 1
You’re not helping.
[00:15:03:27 – 00:15:06:07]
Speaker 1
I’m old when people get old, they shrink.
[00:15:08:23 – 00:15:13:10]
Speaker 1
It’s going to happen. Chris, Chris, you know, it’s going to happen, right? It probably already has.
[00:15:14:10 – 00:15:20:01]
Speaker 1
All
[00:15:22:12 – 00:15:34:04]
Speaker 1
right. So anyway, before we go too far into the wrong kind of talk show here. So the the the Jeep, that was your that was your first Jeep. And how long have you had it? Not very long, right?
[00:15:52:17 – 00:15:53:19]
Speaker 1
I like the storage.
[00:16:44:01 – 00:16:44:15]
Speaker 2
Yeah.
[00:16:54:01 – 00:17:22:03]
Speaker 1
Well, you, you ride motorcycles. So I’ve not ridden motorcycles very much the time that I did. I really enjoyed it. But to me, I driving a Jeep open like that is very similar, not completely, but very similar to being on a motorcycle. You’re out there in the breeze and you’re unprotected. I’ve tried to get my brother in law off a motorcycle and into a Jeep because you get the feeling, but you have some protection. So
[00:17:58:29 – 00:18:19:28]
Speaker 1
I don’t think so. I agree with the way you did it, partly because I’m poor and I can afford something that’s the lower model. But also too, I like the idea of the lockers that I want. I like the idea of the modifications, the lift that I want, the tires that I want. I mean, I don’t know if you guys are familiar with the, the, the gear vehicles, uh, co-host, uh, you know, Natalie, I know that. Uh,
[00:18:21:17 – 00:18:21:23]
Speaker 1
uh,
[00:18:23:17 – 00:19:21:24]
Speaker 1
and Estasia Natalie is actually, uh, the, the, the point person for selling the gear vehicles and they have these completely done up. It’s like past the Rubicon side of things. So you can, you know, literally from the, from the dealership, get one of these gear vehicles and they’re absolutely ready to go more so than even the Rubicon. Um, and that, that’s a cool idea. And as far as my preferences, I like the idea of the gear vehicles. As far as my preferences, I like the idea of taking the Jeep off road. I do not like the idea of modifying the Jeep, but if I do like saving money, I do like understanding directly how things work. And I guarantee you whenever you make the modifications yourself, even the major modifications yourself, that pop, that rattle, that noise, you’re going to go, I bet you that’s blah, blah, blah, because you’re, you’re the engineer to, to the degree of that Jeep. And I really like that. So I don’t like working on the Jeep. I like being done with it
[00:19:22:26 – 00:19:29:07]
Speaker 1
and knowing, and knowing that it’s, you know, I did the work. So, uh, a quick modification there.
[00:19:34:08 – 00:19:34:15]
Speaker 2
Yeah.
[00:20:11:17 – 00:20:11:22]
Speaker 2
Hmm.
[00:20:14:13 – 00:20:14:13]
Speaker 2
Hmm. Hmm. Hmm. Hmm.
[00:20:30:16 – 00:20:33:22]
Speaker 2
Mm-hmm.
[00:21:00:15 – 00:21:02:15]
Speaker 1
You
[00:22:07:16 – 00:22:09:25]
Speaker 1
You
[00:22:24:01 – 00:22:50:07]
Speaker 1
I think it is wonderful. I think it’s wonderful two things It’s nice to know that it isn’t just going to the store and buying a package of meat and complaining about the price There’s a lot of time and effort that goes into that stuff, especially a hunting game It’s it’s a lot of fun. Although I haven’t done the actual Mine was very low-key hunting because I thought the area I lived in but it’s fun getting out there being part of the
[00:22:51:11 – 00:23:08:22]
Speaker 1
the forest or whatever that you’re in and Being quiet and coming up on stuff. It’s a lot of fun I can very well see that if I had a bunch of money because deer hunting is so expensive And if I had a lot of money, it’d be fun to do Yeah. Oh, yeah You
[00:23:36:22 – 00:23:45:27]
Speaker 1
You
[00:24:00:14 – 00:24:42:21]
Speaker 1
That’s cool though and it’s cool that you’re into that I’m very lucky that way with my wife She’s she’s kind of timid about a lot of things other things She’s very aggressive and mean and it makes it somewhat easy for me to set her off And I have such a such a good such a good time pissing her off But she I mean when I took her to the range she was like, oh, yeah Yeah, let’s go to the range and she would be she was shooting that she wasn’t timid about it at all It’s it’s great having a partner that Enjoys not exactly the things that you enjoy but thinks the things that you enjoy are pretty cool I want to be a part of it So let me ask you this to take a twist on this now. You’re a school teacher. Am I understanding is that?
[00:24:43:27 – 00:25:21:10]
Speaker 1
Being a teacher is a very political thing There’s a lot of yeses and no’s more more knows I think than yeses Do you catch any do you have to be protective of your hunting as far as it being common knowledge? I think you posted something here recently where you were bow hunting and I could really I mean Why don’t you just go to the store? Why are you actually torturing animals this way? They don’t realize that the animals that you’re buying at the store weren’t wild And as far as torture goes that would be more of a torture than what you’re doing But do you have to protect that or can you be who you are? You You
[00:25:49:10 – 00:25:51:10]
Speaker 1
You
[00:26:19:11 – 00:26:19:14]
Speaker 1
You
[00:26:33:14 – 00:26:36:18]
Speaker 1
Yes, I agree You
[00:27:04:18 – 00:27:06:18]
Speaker 1
You
[00:27:35:19 – 00:27:36:18]
Speaker 1
You
[00:28:07:25 – 00:28:11:15]
Speaker 1
You
[00:28:29:14 – 00:28:31:21]
Speaker 1
I’m a You You You You You You
[00:28:32:23 – 00:28:34:27]
Speaker 1
You You
[00:29:03:23 – 00:29:03:25]
Speaker 1
You
[00:29:15:14 – 00:29:15:22]
Speaker 1
Yeah
[00:29:26:04 – 00:29:29:10]
Speaker 1
Yeah, dragging the big chain with a bit between the bulldozers
[00:29:30:16 – 00:29:41:01]
Speaker 1
Chris you’re a big you’re a big guy. I suspect you’re a big white guy. So you’re you’re evil automatically I understand I’m in the same boat but
[00:29:42:02 – 00:29:53:08]
Speaker 1
I I’m gonna take an alternative position to tread lightly. I like tread lightly I like it and I think it needs to be there because we need people having less
[00:29:54:14 – 00:30:04:05]
Speaker 1
political Ammunition to close trails and keep people off-road but I don’t like I don’t like the idea that I’m on a
[00:30:04:05 – 00:30:32:24]
Speaker 1
ride at Disney I Have to be on this designated trail. I’m missing the this that center Bar that keeps the the vehicle on the trail Like they do at Disney Asteroid used to be a big deal here in Texas till they closed it So it’s like I’m pretending to go off-road in my vehicle That’s not exactly like that because you can roll over you can make bad decisions so and so forth But I think it’s very similar to that
[00:30:34:08 – 00:30:34:20]
Speaker 1
It’s the
[00:30:34:20 – 00:30:55:08]
Speaker 1
planet. You don’t have to be careful with Rock and sand and stone The earth was here long before we are we were and we’ll be here long after us. We don’t need to Earth day For effect what the what the hell is the earth ever done for me? I don’t it doesn’t need a day
[00:30:56:15 – 00:31:19:01]
Speaker 1
So You and you don’t have to agree with me. That’s fine, but I look at it like this is like well. This is nonsensical It’s like well these leads like hunting they have you know the deer season opens for bow hunting before the the boom boom bang bang Deal what difference does it make if you’re killing an animal the most important thing to me if you’re killing an animal it doesn’t suffer
[00:31:20:11 – 00:31:40:15]
Speaker 1
As much as it cannot suffer It doesn’t suffer and you eat or use the thing as much of it as possible make its life worth something and So I just wanted to throw that out there you guys can respond to that what you think about it You don’t have to agree with me at all in fact if you don’t it’s better for the show You
[00:31:49:27 – 00:31:52:22]
Speaker 1
That’s true yeah, I can see that You
[00:32:22:22 – 00:32:23:16]
Speaker 1
You
[00:32:34:08 – 00:32:34:17]
Speaker 1
Right
[00:32:34:17 – 00:33:08:10]

Speaker 1
I just want to run over stuff. I don’t want to hear I don’t want to hear while It’s special. I mean it’s logical it makes sense But I’ve said it before if you’re gonna bring facts and logics into this this conversation I don’t want to argue anymore

Well, and I can understand especially when it’s on your own property you want to be able to enjoy Everything that your property is able to give you including having some fun on it and making and utilizing it Chris You’ve only had a Jeep for a few years. How did you know to cut the trails? Was it a past experience at hunting or? Motorcycle off-road or how did you know how to cut the trails? I mean anesthesia obviously thinks you’ve made a good choice You
[00:40:33:06 – 00:40:34:25]
Speaker 1
Perfect even better
[00:40:44:17 – 00:40:46:25]

We talked a while back Anastasia about you getting a Jeep yourself, and I think you were leaning towards a TJ Or do you still have plans on getting a TJ? You

It’s critical it’s very important You You know what you what
[00:43:16:17 – 00:43:56:12]
Speaker 1
I’m sorry what you just said they’ve grown up with you I think that is critical because that shows them that you guys aren’t infallible you’re always learning and if they see that this was something new to you and you For lack of a better term muscled through it and made it happen They’re part of you and they know that they have a chance of having that same strength of figuring out the problem There’s always going to be problems and you just have to work through them And and be happy with your the solution they don’t always work out, but that’s part of the reason why it’s a problem Anastasia, I’m sorry. I’ve been having such a great company You You
[00:44:24:13 – 00:44:25:06]
Speaker 1
You
[00:44:37:12 – 00:44:41:17]

[00:45:05:28 – 00:45:06:08]
Speaker 1
That’s
[00:45:07:14 – 00:45:40:27]
Speaker 1
Yeah, the two door to me is what a real real Jeep should be I would have preferred when I got the gladiator it be a two door But it’s nice having those four doors and having that extra room to carry things the thing I was gonna mention before anastasia was having a really good conversation with you guys And we haven’t talked about your off-road Women’s network for the grenadiers. Can you can you give us a little information on that and save me here That instead of just getting getting to the end and going. Oh, I’m sorry. I forgot to mention that You You You
[00:46:08:27 – 00:46:10:27]

Speaker 2
You
[00:49:08:27 – 00:49:10:27]
Speaker 2
You
[00:49:38:27 – 00:49:40:27]

All right You

Speaker 2
You
[00:50:59:23 – 00:51:02:05]
Speaker 2
Right You You
[00:51:30:24 – 00:51:31:04]
Speaker 2
Right
[00:51:43:21 – 00:51:44:08]
Speaker 1
Oh, yeah
[00:51:48:12 – 00:52:27:25]
Speaker 1
She shared experiences Yeah shared experiences shared stories. Absolutely and talking about it lets you process What you went through and I’ll just mention that you’re showing the women how to do this stuff but there are men out there that are at their level are very much where the women are and Whenever they see and right or wrong if they see a woman do it, it’s automatically. Oh, well, I can do it You know if a woman can do it I can do it I know that that’s a bad way of thinking but we’re talking about the way men think and it gives them The urge to do it as well You You
[00:52:55:25 – 00:52:57:07]
Speaker 1
You
[00:53:02:25 – 00:53:04:20]
Speaker 1
Oh, well she threw you a bone crest
[00:53:08:28 – 00:53:12:16]
Speaker 1
You
[00:53:28:21 – 00:53:47:25]
Speaker 1
It’s a partnership it’s a wonderful partnership it absolutely is And in and I don’t mean to speak for you But I get the feeling since you’re since you’ve been married a while You’ve learned to do what your husband tells you to do. So you’re you’re a better learner that way for off-road
[00:53:49:07 – 00:53:53:09]
Speaker 1
Chris got a little curious cut a little he peed a little bit when I said that oh
[00:53:53:09 – 00:53:54:00]
Speaker 1
shit
[00:54:02:11 – 00:54:03:10]
Speaker 1
I The
[00:54:04:13 – 00:54:19:22]
Speaker 1
only thing I would the only reason why I would try to tell an Anesthesia what to do is just a pisser off and watch and laugh about getting her getting pissed off Women are so much fun and the more aggressive and strongly there are the more fun it is for me All right. Well You
[00:54:27:29 – 00:54:28:07]
Speaker 1
Yeah,
[00:54:31:03 – 00:54:35:19]
Speaker 1
oh, yeah You
[00:54:50:06 – 00:54:53:24]
Speaker 1
Oh, yeah, it’s it’s good thing You
[00:55:21:24 – 00:55:23:24]
Speaker 1
You
[00:55:53:08 – 00:55:56:03]
Speaker 1
Exactly You You
[00:56:24:04 – 00:56:48:19]
Speaker 1
You So I was going to ask a really important question before we wrap up here But I think what I’m gonna do instead of asking Anastasia about her hair. I’m gonna ask Chris about what he what he does
[00:56:49:19 – 00:57:00:27]
Speaker 1
What he does for work because I think that we need to Cover that really quick if you don’t mind Chris tell people what you do and and really what you’re doing for the for the country You
[00:57:28:27 – 00:57:38:04]
Speaker 1
You
[00:57:44:04 – 00:58:10:15]
Speaker 1
So You You
[00:58:14:18 – 00:58:16:21]
Speaker 1
So I understand You
[00:58:18:04 – 00:58:31:09]
Speaker 1
Yeah, well, actually I was gonna mention that that has to be a really hard emotional job for you, especially for somebody that has an incurable disease or a terminal diagnosis
[00:58:32:09 – 00:58:46:00]
Speaker 1
Other than coming home and letting your wife cheer you up. How do you handle all that? That’s got to be I mean, I know that you can learn things and learn how to deal with things But I would imagine that not that it’s PTSD But I can imagine that would even give you
[00:58:47:02 – 00:58:48:26]
Speaker 1
Some really low times in your life
[00:59:04:09 – 00:59:07:15]
Speaker 1
Yeah, that’s a good point You
[00:59:35:15 – 00:59:39:14]
Speaker 1
You
[00:59:54:08 – 01:00:12:15]
Speaker 1
So, do you do you find yourself maybe doing more of the adventure type stuff because the the people that you’re helping can’t Do you do you look at it like I got to get out there and do this stuff I have to do these things and enjoy my life. This is because I’m so lucky that I can You
[01:00:28:04 – 01:00:32:06]
Speaker 1
Oh neat, yeah You
[01:00:45:21 – 01:00:49:04]

[01:01:17:04 – 01:01:17:11]
Speaker 1
You
[01:01:24:29 – 01:01:25:22]
Speaker 1
Hmm
[01:01:29:09 – 01:01:46:11]

[01:01:48:29 – 01:02:12:01]
Speaker 1
hope you might you guys don’t mind me telling a little a little secret of you to the anastasia told me about Friday Friday at midnight is knife fight night And whoever loses the the first round has to switch to a rubber knife So I think that that’s that’s really cool. It keeps your keeps everything sharp, you know, because you don’t want to get stabbed
[01:02:14:11 – 01:02:22:00]
Speaker 1
All right, so anyway a bit of silliness that of course isn’t happening so far as I know but it could I’m not saying it Isn’t it just we don’t over sure?
[01:02:25:28 – 01:02:28:28]
Speaker 1
It’s a family show anastasia Uh
[01:02:32:13 – 01:03:04:16]
Speaker 1
It’s funny I like it whenever we have somebody on here with a camper or one of those inflatable mattresses or something Because I like to ask them is it is it wrestling approved? Can you can you wrestle? On the thing that way i’m not being specific. So, you know how the kids love the social media We’ll start with you anastasia. Where can people find you especially women wanting to be Involved in your your network of women the grenadiers.
