As a collective, we are finding ways to navigate the treacherous challenges associated with the year 2020. With the expeditious boom in our society’s “expert” panels and information accessibility, unknowingly or knowingly, we are also faced with yet another insidious issue: MISINFORMATION. Our community has to make it priority to fact check everything!
The intent is simple: knowledge lends to power.
That power is valuable, so take ownership of it! Next time you are faced with new/old/contradictory information, ask yourself these questions. If you are unable to answer any of them… GET TO WORK!
