But then the sound of the drumbeat fills the space, and she moves with graceful strength, embracing the music and losing herself in the dance until she is fully upright, fist in the air.
    “I end with my fist in the air for all the women who aren’t with us or who need to feel their strength, as I’m trying to feel mine,” Fawn Douglas told The Nevada Independent as she described a dance she choreographed titled “Rise of the Deer Woman.”

    Earlier this month, the Nevada Department of Employment, Training and Rehabilitation issued a press release with a jubilant headline: “Nevada’s Unemployment Rate Hits an All-Time Low.”
    Just two weeks later, as a wide swath of businesses are ordered shut for a month to slow the spread of a virus that has no treatment or vaccine and threatens to overwhelm the health care system, the department is doing an about-face — advertising extended hours and bracing for a flood of unemployment claims.
