It's been about a year since our communities went into lockdown due to the pandemic. #RoundtableTuesday Community Co-Hosts Risshan and Tamrika talk to a panel of mothers about the ups and downs of life during COVID. Plus, #3QuickPicks with The City Library and reflections on Black Refractions at the UMFA.

Led by Community Co-Hosts Risshan Leak and Tamrika Khvtisiashvili, tonight's lineup included:

Ashley Farmer of the Utah Museum of Fine Arts. Farmer shared UMFA Docent Ruth Gooden's community reflection on Portrait of a Young Musician, a painting by Beauford Delaney and one of a hundred works of art on display in Black Refractions: Highlights from The Studio Museum in Harlem at UMFA. The exhibit ends April 10th, so click here to schedule your visit today!

#3QuickPicks with Azra Basic, adult services librarian at the Marmalade Branch, Salt Lake City Public Library. All available for online hold and curbside pickup, Basic’s book picks on motherhood included:

#RoundtableTuesday tackled life during COVID with a panel of mothers, including:

  • Misty Mulkey of Powerful Moms Who Care, a program of Crossroads Urban Center. She’s also case manager, volunteer coordinator and peer support specialist at Journey of Hope. JoH is a nonprofit that improves the lives of harmed and justice-involved women and girls by empowering them through case management, mentorship and social advocacy. She’s also mother to three amazing daughters and two incredible grandsons -- which she calls her biggest achievement.

  • Azra Bašić is the Adult Services Librarian and acting manager at Marmalade Branch, Salt Lake City Public Library. In partnership with RadioACTive, Bašić curates #3QuickPicks to highlight books, movies and downloads in the library’s catalog to extend Roundtable Tuesday conversations beyond the show. A mother of two, she makes sure to always include “a pick for the little ones” in her weekly library list.

  • Jo Leak, team leader at a tech company, mother, human rights activist and drummer. Married to Risshan Leak, they have two beautiful and wild children — Elijah, 10, and Canyon, 7 — three chickens and an amazingly sweet dog, Mo. Leak says her family is very involved in the community and always seeking ways to help out those in need. Pre-COVID, she traveled to India and Ghana for humanitarian projects.
