We are a bunch of longtime friends who missed hanging out with each other during the COVID-19 quarantine.
With no physical access to family, friends, neighbors, work colleagues, the mailman, the supermarket cashier, and all the others who make up our day – we thought about how much we missed these basic interactions.
We wondered if the “isolation” led folks to think about themselves and others differently. We wanted to know how personalities and lives changed. We wanted to capture a slice of those changes.
We decided to create a place where people could connect with others.
Soul Serial was born!
While life during COVID-19 was the initial thought, we asked ourselves “why stop there?”
There is more to life than COVID-19. So, we expect to offer different topics as we proceed along this unknown journey.
