On this episode, Chid discusses some tips and strategies for those ( especially recent graduates of any post-secondary education) job searching during these unprecedented times. She also invites some fellow recent grads to share their views and perspectives as well.

In this episode, Chid chats with friend and journalist Lidia about her experiences in the industry, social media, fake news, how 2020 has impacted her work and how she is coping given all the news and events that have taken place in 2020. As Lidia would say, being a marginalized woman in journalism is sweet and sour and so this chat is had over a cup of Lemon Ginger Tea.

Martin Luther King Jr's quote " Take the first step in faith, you don't have to see the whole staircase, just take the first step" best summarizes the process for the establishment of this space.
