Welcome to Love Like This?, a romance column where we, Kathleen Newman-Bremang and Ineye Komonibo, revisit some of the most romantic — or not, in hindsight — scenes in Black film and TV history. For five seasons, we’ve watched Issa Dee (Issa Rae), our homegirl in our head who has […]
If 2021’s trend cycle has proved anything, it’s that, in fashion, everything always eventually comes back in style. From the industry’s penchant for high-waisted jeans and biker shorts made popular in the ‘90s to the resurgence of wallpaper floral prints a lá the 1970s, nostalgia is currently all the rage. […]

Finally, some good news. Yes, the end of 2021 is being affected by a slightly chaotic Venus retrograde. But even so, there’s another astrological transit coming our way that’s promising to steady our spirits. Jupiter, the Planet of Luck, is entering into its favourite sign of all time, Pisces, on […]
The solstice is behind us and Venus Rx stretches out into the distance ahead, looming over our days in Capricorn, where both the Sun and Mercury have endeavoured to reside. Our week begins with a sextile from matter-of-fact Mercury in Capricorn to uncertain Neptune in Pisces on the 26th, helping […]
