Greetings from the quarantine! The Genies are staying in their bottles and working from home in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic.
@washingtonpostDay One: Already turned into a lamp. ##newspaper ##selfquarantineβ¬ Pixar Intro – Disney Pixar
While it can be incredibly difficult to remain calm in such a scary and uncertain time, the Gossip Genie team is trying their best to stay hopeful.Β As Luvvie Ajayi said on Twitter, “In times of chaos, people create the best work of their lives. People use words that they pull from the depths of their spirits. People paint w/ strokes that they summoned from their souls. People sing notes that come from the cosmos. People innovate. Let’s push through do that.”
That’s exactly the kind of energy we’re trying to channel at this time. We’re using this break from in-person meetings and events to reorganize and restrategize so that we can better serve our clients when life eventually resumes as normal.
In the meantime, we’ve needed our fair share of comic relief and joy. Below are some of our favorite TikTok videos that have helped us get through these long and challenging days inside. We hope they make you smile, bring you inspiration, or just make you forget the state of the world– even if just for a brief moment!
