SOS Sides of the Spectrum - Interview with Youth Connect's Nibras (Part 3) - Episode 9

News and entertainment is a huge deal for our YOUTH CONNECT crew. Each member works hard to collect information, research and then write their individual piece to add to this group production. Practice takes a huge portion of time and although we have done over 35 weeks of YOUTH CONNECT - it is still a learning curve. But for today’s special guest. Nibras -public speaking has always been his passion. He is a poet, a writer and a speaker and has won a few awards for his excellent work.

Social Distancing - Sides of the Spectrum Ep. 4

What is Social Distancing? Social distancing means staying away from busy places like malls, movie theatres or airplanes. Activities or events may be cancelled to keep people safe and healthy. You may get upset or frustrated about not being able to do the things you normally do. But understanding why we practice social distancing will help keep everyone safe and healthy. For many of us, it means a change to our routine which is not always easy. I interview Bill over the phone and ask him how he's adjusting to the social isolation and we discuss what works and doesn't work for many in our community. Join us for another episode of SOS Sides of the Spectrum!
