In this episode of our Quarantine Stories series, we spoke with internationally acclaimed singer, composer and musician Azam Ali, who was supposed to be performing with her band Niyaz this spring until COVID-19 hit. She talks about coping with her anxiety by helping others, creating a GoFundMe for musicians who need financial assistance. Filmmaker Scott Garen (A Thousand Roads, American Renegade) talks about dealing with his own anxiety by learning to create joy on a daily basis, and how this pandemic is fundamentally changing us as humans.
