As we all struggle to stay connected, keep working, tap into our creativity, and take care of ourselves, it can be hard to see what we’re doing as productive or to see the long term.

Panelists include:
Benz Amataya, Artist and Founder of Dear Artists podcast

Polly Irungu, Founder, Black Women Photographers
