Dave (Lippy People) is in front of a laptop with a group of people of mixed abilities and from a variety of backgrounds.
They are reviewing a legacy video on a laptop. Some people are smiling in memory, some people look sad and some people look serious.
#LippyPeople are getting ready to release the next round of the 4 L's Project.
A crucial step is reviewing the videos, to ensure everyone is happy with the way their story is told.
Check out www.youtube.com/@Lippypeople1 for updates on this moving project.
