Who do you trust most -- either in the news or in your personal life -- to explain what is going on right now? Tell us about why you trust them.

<strong> I think trust is a weird thing now. There have been a lot of tests to trust within the last year.</strong> I like to think I still trust my women’s intuition, my gut instinct. I trust my husband, my dad, my kids and my brother. My aunts and my in-laws. All of the people in my inner circle I have immense trust for, my family is pretty close-knit. Again, it’s earned.<strong> One thing that maybe I have learned during COVID is, definitely to keep that inner circle small and safe.</strong> The less infiltration the better.<strong> When I look around me, I see the foundation of a lot of institutions being tested on the trust front</strong>: the CDC, the WHO, etc.<strong> It’s been a philosophical year of weighing the checks and balances</strong> as the news cycle spins versus listening or reading something from an always go-to source and trusting it blindly. Research is key. No sudden jumps to conclusion, definitely warranted.
