After two hours and 24 songs, the queen commonly known as Beyoncé still stepped offstage last Saturday night looking as fresh as a member of an HBCU freshman class. How did she do it? While we’re tempted to believe she really does wakes up like that, her glowing, glittery-eyed makeup look was created by longtime…

I recently went out to Los Angeles on a company-paid trip to host an event called Urban by Nature. From Washington, D.C., that trip is about five hours. For this reason, I typically scramble to get a window or aisle seat, praying to never get stuck on a five-hour middle-seat journey into uncomfortableness.

A rule of thumb that is pretty useful: Any political figure who says that they want to help the “white working class” is much more interested in helping white people than in helping the working class.

Have you ever been right for the wrong reason? I’m sure you have. We all have. Well, when it comes to Starbucks, I’ve been right for both the right and wrong reasons. Starbucks has always represented gentrification to me (yep) and has been representative of “the man” stepping on the necks of black folks near and far,…

Fun fact: It is April 17, 2018, and in New York, temps aren’t expected to reach 50 degrees today. In Chicago? They’ll be lucky to hit the low 40s. So, excuse me if I couldn’t help but start drooling while checking out the festivalgoers during the first weekend of Coachella, basking in the glow of the Indio, Calif.,…

Foam rollers are great for soothing aching muscles, and $13 gets you a hollow core and solid core roller today. One even nests inside the other for easy storage and carrying. I’d say that’s a better use of your money than 15 minutes at a massage parlor.

President Vladimir TrumPutin was supposed to be proving that he wasn’t in bed with the Russians when he ran out here all willy-nilly to bomb Syria.

We all knew that Beyoncé’s Coachella performance, which was essentially her comeback to the stage since having twins Sir and Rumi, was going to be popping. Our queen is nothing if not a stellar performer and a perfectionist—no detail is too small. However, what we actually got Saturday night left many of us (aka…
