Total media convergence has made way for many a digital trend, but none as pervasive or enduring as the “Get Ready With Me” (GRWM) video format. It’s a simple concept that has outlasted fleeting beauty trends, major platform shifts, and the entire life cycle of some apps (RIP Vine). And now these videos are all […]
I am a workaholic. For years, I wore busyness like armor, layering deadlines over social obligations and professional ambition over personal stillness. I convinced myself that as long as I stayed in motion, as long as my calendar remained full and my inbox constantly refreshed, I would never have to interrogate the quiet exhaustion humming […]

Viral examples and research have shown that AI doesn’t always get us, with documented cases of AI systems that can’t read darker skin tones, give less-than-ideal medical advice to the community, or reproduce stereotypes […]
The connection between Raphael Saadiq and Ryan Coogler was established long before Coogler picked up a camera. “He’s from the Bay Area; he’s Oakland. His father’s an Oakland native,” Saadiq, who was also born in the California city, told EBONY in our one-on-one interview. “It holds a special place, because my brother and my late […]
