Story of Nicole Nicole is a Filipino migrant living in the United States and working as a teacher. She copes with the COVID–19 pandemic by keeping herself busy, focusing on her family and friends: “I keep myself busy like watching movies, listen to a favourite radio station and meditate or pray. If I want to involve my children, I invite them to cook their favourite food,” Nicole explains. She also makes sure to check up on friends more frequently than before the pandemic.
