In Naked Love 6, we explore what folks’ relationships have been like during the current COVID-19 pandemic. We hosted a group conversation to hear how both new and long-term relationships have adjusted during these strange times. Brianne Johnson, a graduate student at VCU’s Brandcenter, takes us through reconciling commitment with her own changing ambitions as she thinks through graduation, while Jenish Patel and Reema Rao-Patel talk about how the dynamics in their marriage have shifted since quarantining together.
Because of the pandemic, the Naked Love team could not produce the episode as it normally does, so this episode features Arjun Motta leading the group interview. Thanks to Brianne Johnson, Reema Rao-Patel, and Dr. Jenish Patel for their participation. Special thanks to Ivanna Shevel (College ’21) & Emily Kelin (MPP ’20) for their input throughout the process. -
