2020. I’m not sure where to begin just because so much has happened. I look into the future and I try to think how I would explain to someone the series of unfortunate events that have made up this year thus far. Starting in March, the WHO declared COVID-19 a pandemic and cases rapidly rose in the US, shutting down the country. In May, the horrible murder of George Floyd at the hands of a police officer led to protests, rioting, and looting all over the country. Climate Change brought record high temperatures and the end of summer brought wildfires to the West coast. Whenever things seem like they can’t get worse, They do. Schools are closed, and social distancing is just a normal part of life now.
Unfortunately as a performer, jobs are scarce and tensions are high as artists scrape to find a living during these times, along with so many other professions. My heart goes out to anyone and everyone affected by this pandemic, and we must stay positive and search for that light at the end of the tunnel.
I am grateful to be living in such a vibrant and beautiful place during these hard times. I have taken this time to grow as an individual, artist, as well as learn about putting my content online. I will have more information soon, as the world of performance is changing, and I am eager to ride out the storm and see where it takes me.
