What happens when you're friend lives down the street, but you don't feel like you can go see them? Well, first things first, you give them a call. :)
his is You and Me and Everyone we know, a podcast made by everyday people trying to get through the coronavirus pandemic together. In each episode you’ll hear from regular people sharing what their lives are like... right now.
Today I’m talking to my neighbor, Alissa. That sounds simple enough, even blasé. And last week, it would have been. But now, we’re three blocks away and neither of us really want to get out and go see each other. It’s weird.
Alissa and I used to work together at Alight, a refugee centered organization based in Minneapolis. We’ve actually traveled the world together, which is crazy to think about right now. Then Alissa and her partner Baraka moved in down the street and we became neighborhood buddies, meeting up at our neighborhood grocery store, The Wedge, for a smoothie and some friendly chitter chatter.
