In this moment of cultural, political, and economic uncertainty, when we have no idea what horrors the next news cycle will bring, or how we and our loved ones and our communities might be impacted, many of us are variously experiencing our nervous systems under pressure.

As I write this, it’s Saturday morning and Malaika and LaVoya from the CCI team are convening just a few blocks from my house to host our first ever DEI brunch!

Me? I’m down with covid, fortunately a mild case, but in consultation with my PCP, I’m following the original rather than current guidance and quarantining for five days.

And I feel… disappointed, yes of course, but also, surprisingly, I FEEL AMAZING!!!
