“You are eminently qualified to speak from your lived experience.”
Vindy Teja & Anna Brooke

Ronald Reagan
“Some seem to forget that I’ve worked with those on movies and television. I warn you. Television may be exciting, but always take what you watch or read with a grain of salt. The more extreme these people act, the more money they make. They don’t care about us. You should always do your own research using verified primary sources. Editorials or articles published can be exciting, but they are seldom the truth. This country will eventually be destroyed for the sake of a paycheck.”
Ronald Reagan, Where's the Rest of Me? The Autobiography of Ronald Reagan
