"I was laid off work for six months." In an excerpt of a 2021 interview, Ashley Porter describes her experience of unemployment and social isolation during the COVID-19 pandemic. Activities such as ballroom dancing were no longer possible, meetings and doctor appointments had to be done remotely. She shares how she learned to use Zoom videoconferencing and then taught her mother those skills.
