Testimonial
“I only know as much as I’ve read and watched about SARS but listening to the episode shed light on the topic from the perspectives I would have had a slim opportunity of hearing otherwise. My heart breaks for all the victims of SARS in Nigeria and the families left behind. Thank you Amy for making space for important conversations to educate, inspire, and drive action from the people around you.
