Danielle Moodie and Wajahat Ali examine the growing divide between political promises of prosperity and the everyday realities of health-care costs, financial insecurity and access to opportunity. An 81-year-old Texas man working to pay for his wife’s cancer treatment, protests surrounding Benjamin Netanyahu’s UN address, and Zohran Mamdani’s plan to offer 70,000 free Metropolitan Opera tickets put very different faces on the same question: Who is America’s “Golden Age” really for? Danielle Moodie is the CEO and Founder of DAM Media Strategies, a multimedia company and consulting practice. She is a trailblazer in strategic storytelling with a nearly two decades long career dedicated to reshaping the media landscape.
