Formal Apology by Jayne Nowek

Jayne During the Pandemic


take over of the camera crew, oh do I have one now?

(This video was a result of a story that my Grandfather told me about a night in WW2. Horrible circumstances create different behavior. This pandemic has altered habits, but regardless, I do not believe it's good to shame people for their alcohol intake. Buzz feed news included a comment by someone made aboutt their aunt and friends who post about "wine time." The writer of the article agreed with the comment calling their behavior "alcoholism." This is a complicated issue that has many causes involving multiple scenarios. Sometimes drinking is healthy and sometimes it isn't, depending on the amount and situation, but shame will not solve the problem if there is one. If that person cared about their aunt, they wouldn't be complaining about her, but finding a way to reach out.)

Mitt in MA? on the arts

Jayne and Kim compete in the telling of this story about Romney in MA and jobs for Artists. This has been very cathartic to make these videos, since I did live through these experiences when he was Governor.

More from Jayne Nowek! Romney in MA?


People have been asking for Jayne so I gave her the assignment of reporting on Romney in Massachusetts and the experience of state employees in the field of education. She interviewed Kim Keown and some of her coworkers. Check it out.
