We found ourselves in the middle of a global pandemic with no foreseeable solution or way out in 2020. Though we shared a sense of uncertainty and isolation, COVID’s impact affected communities in many varying ways. There was a loss of jobs, ways of living, loved ones, community, and joy. Now with light at the end of the tunnel, we reflect on the grief as well as the resilience that got us through it — a weight women around the world took on and were impacted by at rates significantly higher than their male counterparts.

Getting to know yourself and loving yourself is an ongoing journey. ... It’s not some destination you get to.
