Scrolling the Protests

After an estimated 26 million people participated in the protests, the Black Lives Matter movement has become one of the largest in U.S. history. The highly diverse group has been able to cultivate a dialogue as a unified voice to call out against the racial inequality and police brutality, which plagues American law enforcement to this day. This has become too widespread even for the elected officials to ignore.

Scrolling the Pandemic: Silenced Frontliners

The COVID-19 pandemic, which has infected more than 300,000 people in New York City, is taking a toll on those who are essential to combat it. As the number of sick doctors and nursers increases due to the lack of PPE, so does the panic and fear for the healthcare system. After one doctor, Colleen Smith, whose video went viral, exposing the harsh reality at the Elmhurst Hospital in Queens, NY, she was quickly silenced by her bosses. Healthcare workers turn to social media to raise awareness, lobby for more supplies and build support during the pandemic.

A Peek at Life Inside the American Detention Centers Amid a Pandemic

I explored how the pandemic has exacerbated the longstanding problem with the US mass incarceration system, where privatization and perverse financial incentives are costing human lives as the outbreak of the virus and those infected continues to rise.
