Title: Kerrie Cotten Williams Interview, May 15, 2020
Date: May 15, 2020
Creator: Kerrie Cotten Williams; Dan Kerr
Description: Kerrie Cotten Williams reflects upon how COVID has impacted her. She works for the DC Public Library, but lives in Baltimore, and discusses that she has not taken public transit for many weeks. She rarely leaves the house, and has started using grocery delivery systems for safety. Kerrie shares how she had a cousin die of COVID-19, and the deep personal effect it had on her and her family who could not attend the funeral. In the difficulty, she has learned to appreciate her home and the support of her wife, neighbors, and community. She shares how porch meetings with her neighbors in Baltimore have led to closer interactions with her community and have allowed her to connect with people in a deeper, more authentic way.
