LAMIA BALADI is a Brooklyn-based writer and photographer originally from Beirut, Lebanon. During the pandemic, she escaped to the woods with friends in a failed attempt to reconnect with nature and herself. She instead indulged in the pleasures of living like a housewife: cooking, drinking, attempting to meditate, doing crosswords, and taking long walks.
SAVANNAH DANIELS is a writer originally from California. During the pandemic, she pondered the meaning of life from her apartment in Little Haiti. Then, to fulfill her almost constant need for change of scenery, she packed up and moved back home to California (she’ll be moving again soon).
