It is a blessing when remarkable persons that we admire make time to speak with us. Those shared interviews are reflections of us both, that’s why it’s imperative that what we ask matters.

One of those persons we were blessed to speak with was acclaimed author and mentor Erica Sandford!

During our conversation about the effects of the pandemic we asked her this GOOD QUESTION: Did 2020 cause you to value your life and the lives of others more than you did already?

She answered, “2020 helped me to value my life and the lives of others more because of its constant reminder that our time here earthside is limited and the only thing that is certain is death.

While that may seem daunting to others, it helped me in a profound way. 

In the words of my favorite writer and forward thinker, James Baldwin, ‘You have to trust life. The only way to live is to know you’re going to die. If you’re afraid to die, you’ll never be able to live.’ | THIS ENT
