Listen to Black American Jerome A. Parker — from The Bronx and living in Brooklyn, New York — share about moving his parents’ possessions from The Bronx, New York to North Carolina in 2020 because they contracted Coronavirus and they were quarantining in their new home. Jerome shares about sadly losing an aunt to the virus during the pandemic.
“Covid has been an interesting time… It’s been a rollercoaster. But I think a lot of people feel that it wasn’t all negative. There was some treasure in that darkness.” Jerome shares.
“We’re taking back our narrative.” Jerome says about the podcast, Black America and Covid.
Jerome and I met in the Prep 9 program when we were in the 7th grade. He matriculated to Choate Rosemary Hall and I went to The Taft School.
