Communicate as much as possible to everyone--your team, clients, community, and family. We’re in this together.  </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">And</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">2. Be accessible and stay connected! So many people are feeling disconnected from those closest to them. Share your experiences with your team!</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Tameika keeps her mindset strong amidst everything we’re hearing by staying true to her faith.
