Bobbie

Doesn't always necessarily have to be political.

I think Bobbie does a really good job of this, and they are a formula company that is very supportive of all mothers, whether they use their products or not.

But I think the ways they show up on Capitol Hill and everything like that, it really does build that specific camaraderie and, as you said too, kind of finding that niche.

And for, I guess, an organization like Bobbie, it feels pretty straightforward.

But for some organizations that don't feel as pinpointed in a direction, do you have any advice on where and how to kind of experiment and find that comfortable niche?

Yeah, that's a, that's a good point, right? Some things are, are very straightforward, but I think there's kind of like a three-part matrix that I would, you know, depending on the brand, apply that, that I think is a good kind of universal, easy thing to remember.

Maybe there's something we could do with the Breasties." And long story short, that was six years ago, and now we have this program for people impacted by cancer who go on to become parents, whether that's through, you know, pregnancy, surrogacy, adoption, and can't breastfeed, um, because of medical necessity.

The formula company Bobbie, they provide a year's worth of formula for, um, the family.

And-

That's incredible.

Mm-hmm.

Bobbie.

They do incredible work, and they featured me on their page.

And people in the comments were like, "They need to get breast milk," blah, blah, blah, "Breastfeeding is better than formula." And this is just what people say on their page because I'm like, this doesn't feel necessarily directed towards me per se.

I was told that there was no notable tension between the two of them on the surface at least.

But after they were graduated, Bobbie apparently tried to go off on her own.

She got a job in a variety store 10 miles away.

And it was the first time either twin had ever left Purlia.

And it was the first time either of them had been separated from the other.

A year or so later, Bobbie quit her job and the two girls became inseparable again.

They were reunited briefly in Purley and then struck out for Winston-Salem where they resumed their identical living patterns.

They got jobs in the same tobacco plant, lived in the same boarding house and came home to Purley, 65 miles from Winston-Salem, every weekend together.
