During the COVID-19 pandemic, there has been an upheaval in the lives of many. People have been forced to decide what truly matters to them. Mental health, work-life balance, and upholding relationships have become commonalities in everyday conversations. As we attempt to return to a world of normalcy, there has also been an increase in awareness in regard to discrimination, health disparities, and reproductive rights. "Choices" is an attempt to capture the mindset of an average woman in my community based upon public and private conversations.​​​
