Care Talk is an interactive storytelling project that amplifies and connects caregivers working on the front lines of the COVID-19 pandemic. In this first installment of a two-part series, five L.A.-area caregivers describe their experiences living, working, and caring for others amidst a global health emergency. These personal accounts were recorded during telephone interviews that Rippens conducted between October 2020 and January 2021.
