The Roaring 20s

The Roaring 20s

 

 We recently created two videos for galas, The United by the Vine and The Mad Hatters Ball. Both videos included interviews with small businesses and nonprofits on how they have gotten through the last year and their hopes for the future. It was amazing to capture these stories and their message of resilience, community, and hope. 

 

 As restrictions are lifted, many people ask if things could look like the roaring 20s of a century ago? When people think of this time, they think of the lavish parties, gangsters, probation, and fashion. We don’t always connect this with the Spanish flu pandemic and war that proceed this time. There were 2.5 million, primarily young people,that died. This reality created an attitude of what kids today call YOLO (you only live once). 

 

 I am excited about gathering and seeing smiles. I also hope that the stories of the last 15 months will teach us more than not to take life too seriously but also to appreciate our connections, our time, and our strength.
