Magnet visits with people we haven't seen in awhile.
Student / Performer Sammee Leigh
1. Where are you sheltering?
In my studio apartment in Queens.
2. How are you staying sane?
Define sane...
For me, it’s about offering myself grace and kindness; not day to day but moment by moment. Some helpful things have been:
- Yoga and meditation (so clutch!)
- Tending to my 60+ plants (I basically brought the outside inside)
- Virtually performing with my indie team HEMLOCK (these ladies are rad, @HEMLOCKimprov)
- my, cat Yanga (she has her own IG page @hello_yanga) <~~~ Again, define sane.
3. What do you miss most?
Huuuugggsss, in-person improv classes / shows / the Wednesday mixer, traveling and going out to eat with friends.
4. What don't you miss?
Hustle culture: Running all over the city, being busy but not necessarily productive and being sleep-deprived. I’ve embraced a more relaxed way of living and creating. I’m so grateful for that.
5. What do you want to say to the other members of the Magnet community?
Laughter is essential and community matters, even if it’s virtual. I host a weekly short-form improv jam and YOU are welcome!
