We feel so fortunate to have Founder of Lunch On Me, LaRayia Gaston, back on DENtalks Podcast for our COVID-19 Perspective Series. LaRayia sees a bigger issue at play here – how as humans this kind of separation is not what we’re accustomed to, how taxing this isolation is on people’s mental health, how many non-profits aren’t working right now, and the overall sadness she feels and sees throughout Skid Row. But LaRayia also has a way of bringing positivity to these hard times. She stresses the importance of letting go of some of the heaviness and how we need laughter and joy more than ever right now. She is a true ray of light!
