In this episode, I embark on a monologue discussing what solidarity means and how it connects to ideas of community building. I answer questions from fellow colleagues who argue that solidarity goes beyond empathy and support but to acts of love and understanding others. In these unprecedented times, we have found the need to be in touch with others and show our acts of solidarity in order to survive.
