BUILDING TRUST WITH COMMUNICATION

November 26, 2020 by Boluwatiwi Leave a Comment

Despite how the year has been, especially with the need to stay physically distant from people, I have met new people.

I wore a pair of brown and orange sandals to the hospital that day. A number of persons were generous with compliments on how beautiful they were. I grinned with delight. As I responded with ‘thank-yous’, I was quick to add that the sandals were made by me. Some people expressed their shock; a few… [Read More]
