Mya Jaradat © Photo Illustration by Alex Cochran While many young people were stuck at home, Tiziana Friedman, 24, spent the first half of the COVID-19 pandemic working in an emergency room in Albuquerque, New Mexico. As a Jewish woman, she found the work fulfilling from a religious perspective, but, as a person of color, she was troubled by the way Black and brown people were treated at the hospital. “I didn’t have a crisis of faith but a crisis of faith in humanity,” she said.
