In the first session, Luar Wolf describes the loss of direct access to patients in hospital settings, the increased risk to themselves as a healthcare worker, and the commitment to supporting reproductive health and justice, especially for BIPOC populations. The interview takes place in early June, as Black Lives Matter protests began in New York City. Wolf describes the intersection of the COVID-1 9 pandemic with the Black Lives Matter movement and analyzes racism as a pandemic within the COVID-19 pandemic. In the second session, Wolf expands on life during the COVID-19 pandemic, addressing work, daily routines, and radical imaginings for the future
