The last few years have been exceptionally hard for arts and cultural nonprofits. Just as organizations started to see patrons coming back to museums, live performances, and art classes, this year saw state governments from Florida to California severely reduce financial support for arts and cultural organizations.

I have been able to learn a lot of their mannerisms, principles, social culture, and religion. Their music is amazing and is a combination of different genres. They also have this beautiful tradition of picking up their families members from the airport with a colorful, decorated car!
