Mondays and Wednesdays with Sukari
Three days after San Francisco’s shelter-in-place order went into effect in March 2020, I called a complete stranger out of the blue and asked her if she’d like to talk.
I’d been assigned to call Sukari, aged 84, through a local nonprofit called My Life, My Stories. Calling strangers is not my strong suit; I’ve often said I would be terrible at a sales job, wary of imposing on anyone and wasting their time.
