beethoven in his truck. is for the body. 202250th anniversary here on. for to me to lawrence nothing is the same anymore the heart of new york her city it still beats but much more slowly than it did before she's been performing on broadway stages for 10 years. but everything's been closed down here since the outbreak of the pandemic this. i feel sorry to part break that i hate. that i did before.

what's next for to mika what's next for new york in the city recover from the pandemic. manhattan times square but there's one place in the world where life never stand still it's right here. but now all this magical place is deserted. almost. to make a runs into some colleagues by chance they're also musicians and currently out of work but they're busy shooting the music video for the internet as superheroes super powers can't hurt right now. that the order of their.

new york the city where dreams are meant to become reality right now it's more like a nightmare from. the borders have been closed for months there are no tourists no shows. america is faltering and for new yorkers like every day has become a struggle to carry on and be able to remain in the city she made enormous sacrifices to make it to broadway. so that's. a lot of.

our. act. it takes some people years to get a broadway gig but to manage it in just a month it's her version of the american dream.

something else like imprinted on their heart to understand why people say the things that they say. to coronavirus pandemic is pulling american society even further apart in new york city alone roughly 24000 people have already died from the virus thanks to strict regulations such as extensive masking the city's been able to keep the virus better in check recently. but the number of infections is slowly rising again and in other parts of the country the situation is much more menacing. black americans like to meet are especially concerned statistically their risk of infection is 3 times higher than that of their fellow white citizens. the pandemic is bringing the deep seeded inequality with an american society back to the surface something that also worries to me a great deal. for home is in the bronx the poorest

in new york city. has kept busy with her new side job since the outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic she's been designing fashion and jewelry with social critical and political messages. a little extra income in these hard times. she puts her finger in the open wounds of american society with many of her designs. wants to do her part to make sure that things get back on track in america this is one reason why all her products are made in the usa it's important to have stuff made in the us here because it means keeping americans employed because employment leads to health coverage needs to less stress hopefully. and. i think that at
