And this post isn’t meant to call anyone out – I eventually turned my camera off too and for the past few meetings have had it off also. But, it’s a moment I can expand on that sort of reflects the effect the pandemic has had on DCERP and all aspects of our lives. Our most basic interactions with people outside our family unit have been distanced; this has been really difficult for me, because my love language, and the way I connect with people, is through face-to-face interactions, and also touch (like hugs etc).
