Some people are feeling intense feelings right now as a result of the pandemic. Is anything making you especially sad, angry, or hopeful right now? If so, what's on your mind?
"... My skin is not a crime. Recently, there's been numerous accounts of police brutality. George Floyd. Breonna Taylor. Get your knee off my neck. As an African American individual, I am so sick and tired of watching my people die. I am so disgusted by the behavior of white supremacists and uneducated law enforcement. Stop killing my people. ... Say their names. ... Honestly, it's bittersweet seeing non-bipoc (black indigenous people of color) finally rise to the podium. ... Why did it take this long for the non-bipoc population to speak up? All of a sudden, because we're homebound during a pandemic, white people suddenly have nothing better to do than make #BlackLivesMatter a trend. ... Of course, I appreciate the effort white people are making to help. I appreciate them rising up and educating themselves. ... Do Better. ... No justice, no peace. ..."

Are you an "essential worker"? If so, what do you most want people to understand about your work during the pandemic?
I'm not an "essential worker" but I have gained such a deep appreciation for them during this pandemic. Especially the people who were working in the grocery stores and pharmacies. They kept us going!! Such an under-appreciated job but soooo necessary during the pandemic. Where would we have gotten food or medicine otherwise?? I will forever be grateful to those workers.
