In the Know (Feb 2022)

Hi everyone! We hope you are safe and well. To virtual or to in-person, is the question on everyone’s mind as things in the UK and around the world seem to fluctuate between lockdown measures and hot girl summer. We kick off this newsletter with Mary’s thought process for deciding whether in-person is worth it or not.

This has caused unrest globally and has put a spotlight on the systematic injustice that black people across the world are facing and have been battling for hundreds of years — oppression, economic disadvantages, systemic prejudice, unlawful deaths, innocent people put in the prison system to name a few.
