During this episode, Dr. Barlow describes the challenges that she and The Intersection faced at the onset of the COVID pandemic as well as her take on what's happened with the Hey Reb statue and social justice in our community. As Dr. Barlow describes, within the struggles, came many opportunities for individuals and programs to come together and help one another to cope with these deep issues. Please enjoy this episode and let's all come together as a UNLV family to heal and have respectful conversations during these difficult times.
