I have noticed that, shockingly, the Trump administration has made little plans to strengthen America through cultural dominance and reforming our entertainment industries. Having worked in entertainment for nearly a decade, I have come to understand the problems deeply rooted in our film, TV, arts, music, and comedy industries that require a tremendous amount of reform and readjustment.
I have begun a substack to hopefully bring this shortcoming to attention. I would love it if you would consider subscribing. I charge no fees and have no plans to make money from this.

As I spent the last 5 years traveling through and around America, I have come to love everything about the country, and wish to share my observations.
God bless and thank you for your time.
The Kennedy Center was created for the masses, few can afford the tickets. It's a pity so few can have the experience and it is an experience.
Time was the National Symphony gave free concerts amongst the monuments. Never forget a date night with my husband sitting on the steps of the Jefferson Memorial with a basket of wine and bread and cheese listening to The 1812 Overture with real canons.
Almost 8 decades ago, the state symphony orchestra came to our small farming community and held a concert once a year for the school system and community. The universities sent fully produced plays to our schools. And then there was the radio program which we listened to which explained the plots of operas and played their significant pieces.
We were exposed to the great works of Western civilization. All English classes read Shakespeare, Silas Marner and Moby Dick. And we studied them for understanding. Spent weeks on each.
We need to teach and listen to the classics because they are the root from which all else flows and lead to appreciation of excellence in contemporary creations.
