Weddings, like university, work, and eating out, look different than they did a year ago. Celebrations with 300-person guest lists aren’t just unpopular, but, as a result of the pandemic, currently unsafe, too. In their place are “minimonies,” or intimate ceremonies that take place in backyards and on rooftops, and […]
Leading up to today’s inauguration, there has been a lot of speculation about what Vice President Kamala Harris would wear to the ceremony. As the first woman, Black, and South Asian American to be vice president, Harris was expected to use her wardrobe to uplift Black talent and emerging American […]

The ancient Egyptians even had sanctified ‘dream beds’ that vivid dreamers – who were considered blessed – would use to gain wisdom from higher powers as they slept.
