Episode: 10 - QUARANTINE: 1 YEAR LATER
Episode 10
Tuesday, 16 March, 2021
There's so much that has happened over the course of the last year. So many major events and tragedies that will certainly be in the history books. This pandemic has been life-altering to say the least. From loss of jobs and income, to financial instability and loss of precious life, this has been a strange and tragic time for so many. We wanted to take time in this episode to reflect, breathe, and remember. And tell the story of life, one year later. Life moves fast and things happen at a rapid pace. This year in quarantine has felt like ten years for some and for others, a day. This pandemic has revealed what many of us already knew. Inequality and inequities were laid bare for all of us to see. The unequal infections rates. The poverty that millions of people easily slipped into. The uneven distribution of resources and aid. The government response or lack thereof. The mental health effects are yet to be fully understood and the vaccine roll-out is further proof that there is much work to be done. Collective healing is what we need from this tragic period in our history. We are still in the midst, and still processing, the toll this pandemic has taken on our country. We take this time to remember and acknowledge the bravery and resilience of our collective human spirit to move forward and help each other heal. We also say the names of our fallen for this week, Priscilla Slater and Xzavier Hill AND we highlight 2 activists doing great work in their communities, Gary Chambers and You Are Essential. This episodes marks our break in season 2 for us to rest and reassess. In the meantime, Subscribe to our YouTube page! Follow us on IG! Please LIKE, FOLLOW, and SHARE the podcast.
