An OG socially distant bond.

All of our friendships are having to adapt to the sudden shock of social distancing. But Aminatou Sow and Ann Friedman’s long distance friendship has been in place for years.

Their yearslong collaboration and closeness spawned a podcast, Call Your Girlfriend. And it's just resulted in their first book, Big Friendship: How We Keep Each Other Close.
