Get real news on the pandemic from a scientist rather than a politician or your neighbor who swears by elderberry or summer heat to kill coronavirus, or your Amo Sami who swears it’s all a conspiracy to rig an election year. Doctor Syra Madad is not just a novel infection chaser and someone who maintains readiness to fight them, she headed for Ebola on US soil when the rest of us were running away from it. From bioterrorism to now hunkering down in New York City to stem the spread of infection in her city and even in ours, she shares her mom life and work with us.

We’re most proud of sharing this space today with someone who demonstrates a passion for her work and dedication to humanity, but we also love that Dr. Madad represents and lives Islam in her own voice. Her newborn daughter and ours are so lucky to have role models like her, and guess what? Like US and like YOU, too. All the moms holding down the fort and living resilience that our kids need to witness right now--not only can you do this, and you’ll get through this. We’re here for you.

Thank you to the ER and hospital staff doing so much right now, sacrificing everything to keep us healthy. Thank you to first responders, food retailers and everyone affected financially by social distancing--your patience and fortitude help us grow ours.
