What I hope for the future

I truly believe that it is the people of the country who set the trends and cause things to occur. Mr. President I see you as one of those influential people among our society. If the leader of our country encourages diversity in anything, people are most likely to assimilate and put it into practice. Mr. President you have the power of the voice. You could request for diverse shows and be involved with entertainment. Imagine what impression it would have on people for a president to attend and recommend a diverse show. Our present time is evolving. Broadway is slowly accepting all the diverse talent. Because unlike what people of my culture believed people are as talented as the white and high class. In this present time I would like you to help change the perspective of the majority of people who live in our society, all races that are not white. A few only see the beauty of Broadway because only a few believe in it. The only way we can be represented on Broadway is if we are involved in it and make a mark for ourselves. By influencing those among us who are non-believers you can establish the future and where minorities stand in the entertainment of Broadway. People like me would thank you so much Mr. President because it can change people's perspectives on whether minorities like Latinos are the ones taking over direction or are the leads on Broadway. Today there is only one Hispanic focused Broadway show written by a Hispanic,"In The Heights" by Lin-Manuel Miranda. He has inspired many Hispanics like me to pursue their dream on Broadway whether its performing, directing or backstage. I know that with your position, in our tomorrow we can have many minorities besides Hispanics taking charge on Broadway. You can help transform one of America's biggest entertainment into a multiracial movement and entertainment venues for all since its entertainment for all and no longer whites. I believe we have come a long way but the road continues and there are still glass ceilings which need breaking. broken. By changing Broadway and people's perspectives, our society can unite and all enjoy entertainment in peace.
