Resilience 2020: How to navigate today's uncertain landscape

2020 has been a difficult test for Americans of every age, punctuated by a global health crisis, a fragile economy, social injustice, wildfires and hurricanes.

Some have lost jobs; others have lost loved ones. Many more are worried about the future and when any semblance of normal life might resume.

To address this uncertain landscape, Cashay is joining forces with MAKERS, BUILT BY GIRLS, HuffPost and Yahoo — all Verizon Media brands — for a live-streamed town hall event on Thursday, Sept. 24 at 3 p.m. EDT to help you build confidence during this incredibly unpredictable time.
