Stay Connected with Sentiment!

Julia and Maddy created Sentiment back in March, after seeing how the pandemic was negatively affecting mental health. They realized that lots of people were having a hard time checking in on themselves regularly, and though this was worsened by the pandemic, it was not a new phenomenon. So, they created Sentiment: a texting community where they send daily texts to remind people to check in on themselves and their loved ones to provide inspiration, motivation and connection.
