Millennials Called in Crisis to Make America Great

At the beginning of this year, a friend of mine committed suicide. It shook me in a way I hadn't really experienced before. I questioned myself, my intention, my right to discuss his life--and his death. As his friend, I had done more than was required, but it wasn't enough. I was kind and inclusive, …

Make “Normal” Better.

After a few weeks of social isolation, we're all itching to get back to normal. But slowly we're realizing that the normal we left behind in March is no longer viable.
