Growing up as the child of immigrants in Laguna Beach, Dagmarette observed the real Lori-Oprah Lee’s her entire life. At home, she saw the sweat and sacrifice required for her parents to cut out their piece of The American Dream. Meanwhile her classmates, Lauren Conrad and Kristen Cavallari, were catapulted to fame and (even more) wealth with the “Laguna Beach” MTV Reality Show. Well, only in America.  

     But the America her parents immigrated to is a very different country than the one we live in today. In a time split between MAGA hats and the #METOO movement, she feels now more than ever that the time has come for women to make their voices heard. This show is especially important to her because it tells the story of a woman who overcomes societal and political obstacles to be authentically, proudly, herself. Though the future can seem bleak these days, the best way forward is by finding the humor that brings us together.
