Black Women and COVID-19

Black women are often overlooked by the general population when it comes to most situations but we have unfortunately had a front-row seat to how dangerous that oversight is when it comes to our physical health during the COVID-19 pandemic. In this episode, we talk about how Black women have been affected by the COVID-19 virus here in America. We also talk about the black women who are taking matters into their own hands to help the community and even the world fight against the COVID-19 virus.
