Though protests across the world are raising awareness about racist inequalities that affect the Black community, as well as Brown, Indigenous, and Asian communities, mass media’s coverage often disregards and under-represents first generation students. Institutional racism has been a topic of discussion, but there are still many underlying issues that are not seen by anyone except for the people that live through those hardships.

Victoria has similarly implemented a shut down of all non-essential activities, including closing schools. People are strongly advised to stay at least 1.5 metres away from others where possible.
But the label used to describe these measures – “social distancing” – is a misnomer. While we must be physically distant, it’s crucial we maintain, or even increase, social contact with others during this unprecedented time.
