America Ferrera shares her experience of being a mother during the COVID-19 pandemic

America Ferrera is among the “army of moms” participating in a national campaign to spread accurate information about COVID vaccines for children.

The Department of Health and Human Services‘ We Can Do This/Juntos Si Podemos COVID Vaccine Public Education Campaign has partnered with the actress to tell her story of what it’s been like raising her young children during these challenging times.According to Ferrera, she thinks differently about certain things she did before the pandemic. “The value of community.

I’ve always valued my community and held my people close, but I had a newborn child at the beginning of the pandemic, which can be an isolating experience on a good day,” she says. “To really be physically isolated from your community from your support system — a recovery of a mother who’s recovering from giving birth, a newborn baby, a toddler who has needs —it was a lot to go through alone.”“I think the real embodied experience it’s really hard to be isolated from the community really changes how I look at and value my community and the energy that I want to put into developing my community and keeping my community close and making sure that I’m investing the time and the energy and the thought into the things that truly bring real value to my life into my children’s lives and to my family’s life.”America Ferrera is on the hunt for the lead role in her upcoming Netflix filmAmerica Ferrera joins Margot Robbie in ‘Barbie’ movieAmerica Ferrera stars in her first COVERGIRL dual-language campaignIn addition to America, the campaign also recruited local moms in nine cities to set up interviews with doctors.
