Unexpected Rhythms
Becoming a mother during the pandemic sometimes transforms the taken-for-granted aspects of parenthood into major milestones. Not so much milestones in terms of your child’s development, but your own transition into being seen and identifying as a parent. Misa and Veena talk about the unexpected rhythms of pandemic parenting, embracing their new identities as mothers, as well as coming back to themselves beyond being parents.
