Checking In with Monique Wilson

Written, produced, and edited by Georgetown University student Monique Wilson, Checking In is a five-episode series revolving around “big little things” in the country and around the world. As the world begins to return to a new normal with minimal mask restrictions and social distancing, it’s likely that people’s lives will get busier.

To prevent the “go, go, go” mentality pre-pandemic, this podcast aims to check in with people from different communities about topics that are prevalent right now.
