Hi, friends!
This video is the second in a new ongoing series that still involves American Girls but leans much more heavily into current events and ACTION STEPS to help with the scary things going on around us. This week we'll be STARTING to look at OB3 (the "oNe BiG BeAuTiFuL BiLL"). It's going to take a few weeks/episodes to get through it. My hope is that by creating this series, I'll be clearly marking my content for viewers so they can see at a glance whether a video will be A) light, doll-focused, and good for a momentary escape or B) a bit heavier and more focused on current events. I'll continue creating two videos per week but make my content more evenly divided between these two approaches. I'm still getting started with this series, so I ask for some grace as I get my bearings and find my groove with the format. I hope it empowers you to feel less alone and less helpless. The power of the people **IS** indeed greater than the people in power.
