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.

I think trust is a weird thing now. There have been a lot of tests to trust within the last year. 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. One thing that maybe I have learned during COVID is, definitely to keep that inner circle small and safe. The less infiltration the better. When I look around me, I see the foundation of a lot of institutions being tested on the trust front: the CDC, the WHO, etc. It’s been a philosophical year of weighing the checks and balances 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.
