Angela Washington, co-producer and social media wizard for The Morning Glory Project has an elderly mom who struggles with dementia in a nursing care facility and a son on the front lines as a nurse during the COVID-19 pandemic. Like so many others during this surreal time, she has moments of heartache and horror as well as moments of joy, hope, and inspiration that renew her spirit. This episode is a conversation about the hard and the soft living side-by-side.
