What can we do to find meaning in our own suffering and the suffering of the world? K & F ask Dr. Rogério Pinto this low-key question during a morning call in quarantine. In his delightful Brazilian/Queens accent, Rogério shares a tribute to New York and describes his process of “psychological excavation” through which he has found peace and meaning from a childhood trauma through art. He provides encouragement that everyone has the ability for this kind of healing work.

Rogério's play, Marília, is available online through the University of Michigan: https://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/handle/2027.42/153525

A short video of the play is available here: https://youtu.be/VbUaZUpn33E%20%20

Farley and Kurt are now self-isolating in Virginia, away from New York City, planning to celebrate Katherine’s birthday and their anniversary via video conference. Katherine recounts her first Quarantine Accident. (We hoped it would be her only accident, but since recording, we now know it was not. She’s fine.) The sisters find inspiration in tough times.

The sisters call Cydne Nash, a wise co-social worker, to see how she and her family are doing in quarantine. The conversation exemplifies the richness of Kat and Cynde’s regular office chats and their friendship across their very different life experiences. The conversation goes deep on race, motherhood, human nature, and creating spaces of kindness.

Cydne references Mocha Moms, the premier voice for mothers of color.
