Sophie and Hayden say it’s hard to keep track of the news.
They find themselves tuning out because of negativity. But one place they can have a positive influence is among their friends in Tulsa – where they live.
“We do pronouns checks every month just to make sure we’re all still on the same page,” Sophie said. “And it’s something we’re very open and honest about.”
