Ep. #22 - Andre Jackson is our third guest in our COVID-19
Survivor Series. SEVEN members of his family (including him) all
contracted COVID-19 and everyone survived! Andre was born and
raised in Washington, DC. I was excited to learn that like
me, he attended Cardozo High School. (Shout out to Cardozo Alumni!)
He’s been married for 21 years, he’s a teacher, he sings with a
local band, “Sudden M-Pac” and he’s sang with the former lead
singer of the Temptations, Glenn Leonard & his Temptations
Revue! Andre has also toured all over the world with the
Temptations Revue in places like Germany, France, and Australia,
and of course all over the United States! His career is both
intriguing and exciting. In this episode we talk a little about
what it’s like to be a teacher during these times, and how it feels
when teaching and learning is no longer in a classroom. But the
real story is how a night out with the family ended up
being the same night when everyone was infected with the
coronavirus. Andre tells us about his initial symptoms, testing,
and what led him to go to the hospital. As members of his family
got sick, the thing that scared him the most was when he learned
his mother caught it. Listen as he shares what he and his family
experienced and how they all beat COVID-19.
(Much love and thanks to the staff and students at Westlawn
Elementary in Falls Church, VA)
