Strengthening resilience, connection, and solidarity during COVID-19
In an earlier blog, Kailee Jordan proposes that at a time like this, where it’s easy to be overwhelmed by emotion, fear, anxiety, insecurity – “self-care, that emphasizes connection and collectivity” is critical. In this blog, I share some thoughts from an experience that talks directly to Kailee’s suggestion. It is about cultivating cross (African) continental solidarity that has been led by South African Gender at Work Associates. It emerged quite spontaneously – without any plans, log-frames or formulae.
