A few months ago, before the whole world changed, I moved from Cincinnati to accept a new position with the Aspen Institute in Washington, D.C. I was excited about my new role with Weave: The Social Fabric Project.
A few weeks into the job, the world came to a halt because of COVID-19. Suddenly, I found myself leading a new team from behind a Zoom screen, alone, in an unfamiliar city, anxiously tracking the health of my family and friends.
As an African American man, my anxiety was compounded when the streets of our country begin to fill with protesters because of the unjust deaths of George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor and Rashard Brooks.
