It has been a crazy year, and we are only 3/4 of the way through it.  We have missed you terribly and are excited and happy to catch up with all of you in our first episode of 2020.  Unfortunately, what was supposed to be a two or three month hiatus, turned into almost ten months, we apologize for being dormant through most of this year.   From a worldwide pandemic to protests against systemic racism, #BLACKLIVESMATTER, not only in America, but all over the world.  This has been a year of tragedy, and new awakenings. America and the World have all been through a lot this year and in America we have some important decisions to make in November that will will affect several lives for at least four years.  We here at Hollywood Hustle believe it is important for us to use this platform we have to share not only facts and statistics regarding important issues in out country, but to also bring stories from those who are personally affected by issues impacted by the choices made this year before and on November 3rd.  One of those that will be affected one way or another is our Producer and Co-Host Michael Lutheran and his wife Anakaren.  Anakaren is a DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals) recipient and she is currently involved in the long (and expensive) process to becoming an official US Citizen.  Michael shares Ana's struggles and the step by step process they are currently going through. We also share some stats about DACA and some of the Presidential Candidates positions on DACA and Immigration.  This is a heavy and emotional conversation that we are proud to share with you.
