Denis Minchuk Radio Project Pitch

For my radio project I will be doing a podcast with my mother about our family’s path to America. With the recent uptick in COVID cases in the zip codes surrounding my area, I am uncomfortable with interviewing someone that is not related to me. We will go into what made my mother want to leave the Soviet Union, and then she will give an account of what it took to get here and what they went through to get to where they are today. I look forward to sharing this story with everyone because I find it very inspiring and it drives me every day. I also believe that her story can help shine a light on America that hasn’t been prevalent in a while. I have had difficulty being a good patriot these past few years and in general it seems that there hasn’t been much pride attached to Americans recently, but this story certainly reminds me of what others see in the this country.
