Living Abroad During a Global Pandemic with Sajdah Ali-George

Sajdah is a mom, wife, educator, consultant living abroad in the British Virgin Islands during a global pandemic. She offers a glimpse into how the British Virgins Islands' response to COVID has differed from her home country, the United States. We talk about cultural differences and make some bold connections to white supremacy cultural norms like individualism, and how they have influenced the United States' approach to addressing COVID. We are reminded of how much there is to be learned from cultural communities within the Black Diaspora. Sajdah offers some wonderful takeaways for teachers, parents, and everyday people dealing with the challenges that have come during this moment in time.
