This podcast episode + NYTimes short-film "Death, Through a Nurse's Eyes" provide a glimpse into COVID-19 realities but in very different settings. I wish there was more for the grief and trauma of nurses, families, patients, and residents. nytimes.com/2021/02/23/podca…

In much of SF, you can’t walk 20 feet without seeing a sign declaring that Black lives matter and no human being is illegal. Those signs sit in yards zoned for single families, in communities that organize against the new housing that would bring those values closer to reality.

Highly recommend considering/sharing this position if you or someone you know has a background in fitness, health or community-based programming. Always a new adventure when connecting on brain health, humor, creativity, while also figuring out Zoom!

New challenge: go a day without asking a Black woman for any labor. Try it. Challenge yourself. This is the challenge I want to see go viral. The "don't ask a Black woman for nothing today" challenge.
