Let us imagine Whiteness as an inherited house,
built on stolen land by the labor of a stolen people.
A shelter passed down through the generations, once assumed to be sturdy, now requiring an assessment of what’s been left to languish and rot in the basement.
What is this foundation really made of?
There’s a leak in the roof now, and storms raging outside come pouring in, they shall be felt.
Walk with me through these corridors, and let us see what we have here.

"They're invisible, they live amongst us, and they can be just as evil as we are. Best get iJinn, the world's first state of the art Jinn removal service. Rid your home of what you can't see, now, and protect your family forever. Just because you don't believe, doesn't mean it's not true."
** Jinn refers to (in Arabian and Muslim mythology) an intelligent spirit of lower rank than the angels, able to appear in human and animal forms and to possess humans.

Arianna Stevens saw something she can't unsee but she can't go to the police because she shouldn't have been there in the first place.
She's hoping her therapist can help her find some peace.
Who knows you better than you know yourself?
What if it was someone you've never met?
Your privacy is assumed but in actuality it's being consumed— day in and day out by complete strangers.
The intimacy is unearned but you're none the wiser.
Which begs the question, who's watching the watcher?
When we are working parents with little ones at home, it can be a challenge to keep them engaged while trying to accomplish other tasks. It becomes important to negotiate how we divide our time between our precious babies who are absorbing new experiences every moment, and the work that is so necessary to meet our day to day responsibilities. In this piece, a working mother shares how she is choosing compassion and how that choice reminds her about her true self ever day.

Do you feel untethered in these anxious times? Are you suffering from an acute lack of human connection? Do you miss sharing whispered words of comfort with friends and loved ones? During moments of chaos, it is common to feel disconnected from the rest of the world, like a small vessel tumbling and helpless in a vast sea of uncertainty.
