Chapter 1: The Power of Name-Dropping
Name-dropping can be a compelling way to capture attention, and it certainly got people interested in my recent article.
"According to the surge in my stats, it seems that name-dropping was not just a gimmick. My narrative focused on the kindness of two well-known individuals, Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher, who have been leveraging their fame to support Ukraine. Their altruism sets a commendable standard for others in Hollywood, and I felt compelled to share their story."
