Dissident Mama, episode 25 - Jen Grinwis

Jennifer Grinwis is owner of Nan’s School of Dance, which was started by Grinwis’ mother Nan in 1975. Jen became director in 2002, and she and her husband Jon have owned the company since 2008. The dance studio has two North Carolina locations: Greensboro and Yadkinville. It’s a family business with deep roots, so Jen, who is also a homeschool mom of 4, talks with us about the NC lockdowns and how the continued covid craziness have affected (and still continue to affect) she and Jon’s livelihood.

The fearless and feisty Jen and I discuss what it means to run a small business, the needless suffering of children under the progressive paradigm, Nan’s expert handling of the “juggling act” that is Gov. Roy Cooper’s endless executive orders, the difference between mandates and laws, Greensboro Mayor Nancy Vaughan’s anonymous snitch list, the culling of the Karen, and more. Take heed, oligarchs: small biz is essential, and no amount of “public health” propaganda will change that. And if the maskholes would just “stay safe, stay home,” we joyful folks could get back to truly living, not just navigating the dystopian hellscape they are aiding and abetting. But the malevolent meddlers thrive on being busybodies, so I say it's well past time to take a rebel stand, just like Jen and Jon.
