From Berlin to Sydney, Mumbai to NYC, over 4 million people came out to strike against climate change on Friday. Demonstrators took to the streets in the primarily youth-led movement to protest against fossil fuels and demand net zero emissions by 2050. I was one of them as I participated in my first march ever. […]
I was pissed that I didn’t have a compost bin when I moved to Brooklyn. Plenty of my friend’s buildings came with a distinctly brown trash can meant for recycling organic matter but mine was curiously absent. Finally settling in Brooklyn was supposed to signify a change for me. It was supposed to be my […]
I used to think that leading a completely sustainable lifestyle was idealistic and impossible. Consuming single use plastic is so heavily engrained in modern Western living that I thought, beyond purchasing re-suable water bottles, not much else could be done to stop it. Since starting a writing internship this summer, however, I’ve been exposed to […]
I was nervous heading to Mexico City at the beginning of May. I wasn’t afraid for my safety; Mexico City demands one be a well-informed, conscious traveler just like any other place. I wasn’t anxious I’d be lonely, either. In fact, I was looking forward to some solitary time on a new adventure. I was […]
I know how its sounds. Asking you to follow the ways of a man who lived 500 years ago in our modern era of social media and personal branding seems primitive and foolish. How can a mere 15 paintings attributed to Leonardo da Vinci circa 1500- something compare to the 5,838 posts of Kylie Jenner […]
I’m not really a fan of Andy Warhol’s art. I don’t say this because I’m an art snob (knowing so little about art absolves me of that luxury) but because it’s too everywhere to feel precious. When I saw his first retrospective in 31 years at the Whitney yesterday, I had a hard time reconciling the difference […]
Have you had your chlorella tablets today? Ali Tate Cutler undoubtedly has, my first model citizen of 2019, though her dose was probably in the powder form that I saw her toting in her book bag when I first met her last week. We were both booked on a bridal job and I was instantly struck by […]
“Would you want to come on an all-included weekend to Bermuda with me?” That’s the question my friend Jasmine texted me last Friday. Sound like a dream come true? For many mega-influencers an offer like this is just like any other day but I never thought it would be a reality for me! I may […]
