This week, we hear two members of the College community read articles they wrote about loved ones in their lives effected by the COVID-19 pandemic.

You can read Professor LeRhonda S. Manigault-Bryant’s full piece “My Mother Is Busy Getting Ready to Die” from the New York Times here, and first-year Zia Saylor’s full piece “She was my cheerleader and my mentor. Then she was hospitalized with COVID-19”  from The Los Angeles Times here. LeRhonda S. Manigault-Bryant (@DoctorRMB)’s recording was produced by Michael A. Betts II (@kidsweater), with music by Blue Dot Sessions.
