About Virginia Walden Ford - From Miss Virginia Movie (https://www.missvirginiamovie.com):

“Being a part of this fight for educational excellence was hard — certainly something I had never thought I’d be involved in — but when I looked at my children and my neighbors’ children, I felt compelled to continue. It was scary sometimes, but I believed then and I believe now that it was the right thing to do… for all of our kids.” — Virginia Walden Ford

MISS VIRGINIA is inspired by the story of Virginia Walden Ford, a struggling single mother from a low-income neighborhood in Washington, DC. Affectionately called “Miss Virginia” and “the Education Lady” by neighborhood children, Virginia fought to create a scholarship program for her at-risk son and children like him. And she won.

Virginia grew up in the deep South. Her world changed when the Supreme Court decided the landmark case Brown v. Board of Education, which famously concluded that “separate educational facilities” for white and black children were “inherently unequal.”

Virginia’s fight for her son and other at-risk kids forced her to become a warrior. She had to overcome deep inner doubts about whether she could actually do what she had set out to do — and almost crippling fear that she would let down the parents and kids whose hopes and dreams depended on her.

In 2004, after years of activism, Virginia secured legislation that gave thousands of impoverished, largely minority children access to safe, high-quality schools. Many have since gone on to college and rewarding careers, an outcome that would have been unimaginable without the educational boost Virginia’s law provided.

Now, MISS VIRGINIA captures Virginia’s indomitable spirit on screen. The film will inspire audiences to do their utmost to secure their children’s essential civil right—the right to an education.

Kellyanne Conway also shared about the vital healthcare initiatives and reform efforts that President Trump’s administration has been working on - to make healthcare accessible, affordable and transparent for American patients and taxpayers, including:

• President Trump’s “Executive Order on Improving Price and Quality Transparency in American Healthcare to Put Patients First” which was signed in June 2019;

• The most recent victory, with the federal court upholding the Trump administration’s hospital price transparency which requires hospitals to disclose secret rates they negotiate with insurance companies;

• Lowering insulin costs for Medicare beneficiaries, whereby common forms of insulin will be available to seniors at no more than $35 for a month’s supply;

• Addressing opioid crisis and passing Support Act, which Kellyanne considers to be the most robust and significant bipartisan accomplishment of the President’s first term.
