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)
