So you and your girlfriends decide to hit up a new bar and take advantage of its happy hour offerings. For a Thursday it’s surprisingly busy, but you don’t mind. You order a mulled wine and some cauliflower buffalo wings, which the waitress says are the most popular on the happy hour menu (weird bar!). You and your friends begin to catch up, and just as Rachel’s about to start talking about her work drama, you feel a cool wind rush through the bar. A large party has entered causing the entire...

Ari Lennox responds to dehumanizing comments, but there’s a lot of history to unpack when it comes to black women being dehumanized.

Valentine’s Day is typically marketed as a day of romance which, as we all know, is just the PG-rated way of saying sex. Sure, there’s flirting and gift giving during the daytime, but once the night hits? That’s where the real meat of Valentine’s Day lies (no pun intended), or so I’d always been conditioned to believe.

Wong, who is most known for performing two Netflix specials while seven months pregnant, is a rising star who doesn’t shy away from taboo or sex-related topics.

By “casual” I mean that throughout the past 7 years, I’ve practiced yoga at least once a month, sometimes upping my practice to every day, but, overall, keeping a pretty steady average of about once or twice a week. And through all the time I’ve spent posing, breathing, and savasana-ing, I’ve stumbled upon a few principles that have helped me further enrich and deepen my practice. What might not be so surprising is that these same yogic principles...

If you're wondering how the male reproductive system works, we’ll get to the real reason you’re here: to find out about this alien-like substance that squirts out of half of the population’s genitals.

Amy Schumer is a controversial name these days. It seems like everybody has an opinion about her or her comedy. And while neither I—nor she (1)—stand behind some of the things she’s said as her on-stage character, it’s impossible to deny the impact she’s made in advancing society’s perception of what a woman can do, be, or say.
Schumer’s comedy career started to take off when she began appearing on Comedy Central Roasts. It was there that audiences began to get a taste of her trademark, no-ho...
