Do you ever feel confused or overwhelmed after reading the news?

Do you wonder if there’s more to a story, or feel like something just isn’t adding up?

You’re not alone.

Every day, we’re bombarded with headlines that barely scratch the surface—leaving us frustrated, questioning what’s real and what’s simply part of an agenda.

I started How It Happened because I was tired of feeling that way.

I was tired of the dots never connecting. Tired of walking away with more questions than answers. Tired of feeling like I didn’t really understand what was happening.

If reading the news makes you feel the same way, you’re in the right place.

Every week, I pick a major headline and dig deep into its origins.

You’ll learn that there’s always more to a story and that legal decisions, power moves, and cultural shifts from centuries ago still influence the world we live in today.

In short, you’ll get the full picture.
