Description

[Recorded: Tuesday, November 1st, 2022]
Miriam (22) and Virginia (68) record a virtual One Small Step conversation in Charlottesville, Virginia. Miriam is a fourth-year architecture student at the University of Virginia and Virginia is the editor of the Daily Progress, the sole daily newspaper in the Charlottesville area. The two quickly find common ground in their shared experiences with traumatic events in their youth, specifically mental health and addiction. The two discuss how stigma around social and economic issues has changed from the 1970s to today. Miriam, a student organizer, learns about Virginia's experiences as a campus activist at the University of Georgia, which led to her career in journalism. Virginia asks Miriam about what she perceives to be the biggest difference between "Zoomers and Boomers" and misunderstandings that occur as a result.
