Title: Amber Interview, September 17, 2020
Date: September 17, 2020
Creator: Amber; Bea
Description: COVID-19 has affected Amber in many ways and it became very real for her when she lost her job over night after moving to a new city. The support of people kept her going especially when she was losing hope after a while. She couldn't collect unemployment and horrible things were happening in the world around her and in her personal life including the loss of family. After some time she made it work. She got a full time job, moved, and things felt more normal despite not being so. The hope she has for us, and what she hopes we learn, is how important it is to have your own opinion and do your own fact checking and to come out stronger, more united, and understanding. Don't take life for granted - normal everyday things could be gone - things are constantly shifting and evolving.
