What did America pass down to us — and what do we do with it now?
Join me for historical deep dives, cultural archaeology, and family stories that challenge what we thought we knew.
A good story doesn’t just reveal the past — it reminds us how deeply connected we really are.

I'm Danielle Romero and my content is all about exploring the nuances of American identity and unearthing hidden historical narratives. My great grandmother Lola left her heritage behind in Louisiana when she moved to NY in the 1930s. Last year, I decided to uncover our family story and begin finding our roots. I'm still on the journey of hidden heritage, genealogy and finding out how our family history fits in the context of community history!

The time I applied to the CIA.

After I graduated highschool, I planned to apply to the CIA (first picture). I got my undergrad in Russian literature, language and soviet history, I finalllyyyy applied to the CIA (way back in 2007). My dad was concerned and thought I shouldn't apply, but I did anyway.Don't worry, I didn't get in. Im sure they knew all I wanted was expose all the gov't secrets. 🥲 I just found the rejection letter today LOL.

Hey everyone,
It's been a bit. I had a few videos removed by YT entirely 2 months ago and I decided to take a break and come up with a new game plan. Im thinking about trying to pick up the torch again, if YT doesnt squash me entirely. Hope to talk with you all soon :)
