I wrote this piece in March of 2020, in response to the news, and how Covid was impacting our sense of community and way of life. It was just after all the houses of worship were closed. I created 3 in my 2020 Series and uploaded them on YouTube, one month apart. At the time, YouTube was restricting the use of the word Covid or Corona in videos, so I avoided those words. That’s why this spoken word is called C – 19. This was my way of connecting to community. I felt that through art I could provide a remembrance of normalcy. Of course I knew Covid was bigger than me, but I was just looking to spread some hope and positivity in any small way.
