Hi, I'm Andrea. Tatianna Belenkaya invited me to participate in this oral history project. What I've been doing, how it changed my life, the current situation, I started teaching online, my four year old son stopped going to school, so we're spending a lot more time together. And I've survived the situation. Thank you to my husband, my son, my friends, my family, in Chile and Colombia. We've been talking a lot more through Zoom, FaceTime. We've been chatting with a lot of friends through What's App, and talking on the phone more. I've also played a lot of games online for the first time, like Risk for example. I meditate every day, so that's really something that's been very helpful during this time. And I've just played, been playing with my son too, a lot, and thinking about stories and new research projects, since I have more time to do that. And also looking for a new home. So all of those things have gotten me through it.

And what I realized during this time, I think, is how fragile economic and social structures are, and how everything is so connected in this world right now.
