Thriving through Pandemic features my pandemic resiliency pod. Four of my close BIPOC friends (Lanise Beavers, Samantha Pulley and Nishelli Ahmed) meet via zoom on a biweekly basis to catch up, and discuss a variety of topics: media, updates in the news, and dating, while also supporting each other's well-being and mental health. The topics for this episode are as follows: coping/thriving through pandemic, BIPOC Lived Trauma, chosen methods for supporting the Black Lives Matter Movement, and white allyship.
