Creators in COVID

  • Summary

  • COVID-19 has changed the way we live and work as creatives. This is especially true for Black creatives and creatives of color who have statistically been the target of the virus, the racism, and also the economic fallout from the pandemic. It is an important time, as we begin to emerge from the pandemic lifestyle, we must capture the stories of how creatives learned to pivot and thrive in, under the circumstances, or how they simply survived the isolation and fear of the year-long ordeal. These stories are complicated by the social justice landscape that changed so dramatically during the same period of time. 

    This podcast will capture those pandemic stories and create a space to comfortably discuss them, with the racial and social implications. Creators in COVID aims to be a catalyst for important discourse every week.

    New episodes are available Monday Mornings exclusively on the Vero social media app (available for iPhone in iTunes, for Android in app stores, and for desktop) and on Tuesdays here on the Red Circle and other podcast streaming platforms.

    The first episode premieres November 22, 2021, exclusively on Vero social media app.

    Follow the Host Jonita Davis on Vero for those Monday releases.

    This final episode of #creatorsincovid brings a special guest, with a story that sums up almost all the lessons from this first season. Ray Fisher experienced the changes of working after the lockdown, the joys of new opportunities, the call to activism for Justice's sake, and the maintaining of self-care/mental wellness needed to survive the fight. We dive into it all in Bonus Episode 11: When Accountability Matters More Than Entertainment.

  • Bonus Episode 10: When It's Time to Walk Away...

    Bonus Episode 10: When It's Time to Walk Away...
    Jan 25 2022

    Tonya Pinkins joins the #creatorsincovid podcast to discuss the decision to walk away from it all, for now.


    During the pandemic, she was writing a book, directing, starring in, and producing her debut film, and acting in #womenofthemovement. The latter took her to the heart of the South days before the Jan. 6, 2021 Insurrection, where she faced head on the reality of her family's trauma under Jim Crow laws in Mississippi. 

    At some point it all becomes too much and at some point, a creator has to decide if its time to walk away...for a moment. 

    Join us as we dive into these questions and more in this Bonus epsiode of Creators in COVID.

    Episode 9 Jonita Davis: Learning to Fail
    Jan 18 2022

    The 9th and final episode of Creators in Covid is focused on a writer who learned one of the toughest lessons in life during the pandemic. I thought that the virtual workspace and having my family home would be the ideal work environment. Instead, it turned out to be one part of a cocktail that forced me to learn a new way to balance work and life.

    Find out more in #CreatorsInCOVID Ep.9: Learning to Fail, featuring me, Jonita Davis.
