Oh, 2020. What can I say about you? It has been unlike any other year. When can you recall living through the uncertainty of a global pandemic, while navigating the fear and anger of witnessing Black bodies discarded, and simultaneously witnessing a world finally try to reckon with the realities of social injustice?
How do you continue to write and edit important and necessary articles about the region when two of the biggest stories around the world are impacting your life just like they are everyone else’s? This entire year has been about upheaval, change, and thankfully hope.
