Title: Andrea Echeverria Interview, May 19, 2020
Date: May 19, 2020
Creator: Andrea Echeverria; Tatiana Belenkaya
Description: Andrea Echeverria discusses the impact of COVID on her life. She shares that she has started teaching online, and that her four-year-old son has stopped going to school. This means that she can spend more time with him, and is surviving thanks to increased interactions with family and friends in Chile and Columbia. She has also been playing games online for the first time, and meditating everyday. Thinking about new stories and research projects, and looking for a new home, has also kept her going.

Title: Bryan B Interview, May 16, 2020
Date: May 16, 2020
Creator: Bryan B; Dan Kerr
Description: Bryan B., a PhD student at American University, shares how COVID has impacted his life. He talks about moving back in with his parents, and how it's nice to spend time with them, but he needs to be careful since his father has cancer. He discusses how the virus has impacted his social justice work, and reflects on how everyone's experience during this time is different and reflects how power and privilege work in our society. He shares how COVID-19 is the filter that reveals how we are currently fractured, and relates to the systematic devaluing of black, brown, Asian, and female bodies. Bryan talks about how the work of DC journalist Reginald Black has kept him going, and gives him hope that there are people we can support. Finally, he hopes that this can be the moment that healthcare for all becomes a thing we can all agree on. He believes that if we can't agree on that in this time, our country is a failed state.
