Askale is one of the so-called “pandemic generation nurses.” She was a nursing student while the outbreak of Covid-19 occurred, which significantly altered her educational experience, and the start of her career in healthcare. Discussion includes the radical shift in instruction as a nursing student during the pandemic and her experiences entering healthcare at a moment of crisis; along with the development of a more equitable workplace through self-activism, and discussions on abortion rights. Beyond healthcare, discussion also includes commentary on growing up in Jamaica, migrating to the US, and opening up a grocery store in Chicago’s west suburbs. Interviewers were Karen Flynn and Gwyneth Franck.
