Hello, hi. Hi! Hi! Hey Galicia. You can hear me, right? Yeah. Okay, do you have your

microphone set up? Mm-hmm. Yeah, okay, I think we're good. Okay, great. How are you doing?

Doing fabulous. She's in my arms. She just fell asleep right before you called me.

And what's what's her name? Her name is Magnolia, like the flower.

I love that.

Yeah, all the Magnolia flowers are blooming in Brooklyn right now.

I'm on the phone with Kalaise

You might recognize her voice from our last episode.

She's the reporter who talked to us about Johnson and Johnson baby powder and the marketing of dangerous beauty products.

Actually one of the baby shower gifts that I got was like a Johnson Johnson gift set and I'm like

side eyeing that and I'm like I don't know about that now like I'm not sure. So yeah I got and if you remember

Calicia was also very pregnant. She had her baby last week and so I gave her a call to see how she was doing.

Through my entire pregnancy I was basically self isolating just because I didn't feel

a while I didn't have any energy so I was really excited to have my baby because I was like you know I'll feel like myself again I'll be able to take her out

so from going from nine months of isolation to indefinite isolation it's been

really hard to kind of cope with. Like I cried for like the first few days

because I was just like I don't know what to do. I can't sit in bed all day like I'm disappointed that I can't do

the things that I wanted to do like there were days where I was just like I don't even know

what I did all day like it was just nine o'clock in the morning and now it's nine

o'clock at night and I don't even know what I did.

I feel like I just stared out a wall all day.

But I had to like tell myself like, you know, no amount of crying is going to fix anything. You just have to make an alternate plan.
