On Identities and Motherhood
Posted on May 7, 2021
Over the course of my lifetime, I have shouldered many different identities with those closest to me. I still do. First I was a daughter, sister, granddaughter, niece, cousin.

In our pre-pandemic, “old-normal” world, if we sat home for a whole weekend, we’d be sure not to sit home for the next three. During the pandemic, our escape became binge-eating, binge-watching shows, and binge-Instagramming for the first three months. As reality set in and the number of pandemic-related cases and deaths rose globally, we had to confront the fears that we had…
