Pitching to publications requires much more than talent and hard work — When it comes to pitching your ideas to publications, there are plenty of things to be considered. On the one hand, even with the expectations clearly expressed, there is no way to know for sure what an editor is looking for. But, on the other hand, you miss 100% of…

Somehow, we seem to keep having these types of misunderstandings… After listening to various misguided online conversations, I decided to make this post. While I’m excited that more people are starting to learn about toxic relationships and how they affect our mental health, it’s also rather annoying to see so…

Sorry, Black women don’t owe you one-dimensionality in their artistry. Janelle Monae is having the time of her life leading up to her new album release, and the girls are upset. The Year of Pleasure is set to hit the streets on 6.9.23! (I’m sure the date is purely coincidental…
