About this project black women talk covid artistic expressions

As a little girl, when I hurt or was afraid, my mother would say, “tell muh ‘bout it.” So this seems to be the perfect title for this oral history project that seeks to collect the stories of Black women and femmes’ experiences with COVID-19. We gather to share our stories as society tends to disappear us from history. Think of the “Spanish Flu”. There is very little historical record of Black women’s experiences with the Spanish Flu. We have to take care of our archives, inserting our voices when others expect silence. So, I invite you to tell me about your experience with COVID-19. You have an opportunity to record your story on topics such as how did COVID-19 impact your work life and how did you care for yourself and family/friends during this time, and how has COVID-19 changed you. This is your story to tell, so tell it in your voice with your truth.. black women talk covid
