If your passion propels you even when all of the odds are stacked against you, that's when you know it's real. For Dr. Lynn Mendonḉa, her diagnosis of sickle cell did not stop her from living out her dream as a critical care physician - even when it meant risking her own life in a pandemic to treat the nation's most ill COVID-19 patients. In this BONUS episode of SILENT Podcast, Christina and Ijeoma explore the journey of COVID-19 one year since it began. With Dr. Lynn, they talk about some of the most critical impacts of COVID over the past year and even the glimmers of light that they have all seen despite the pandemic.
