Style Spotlight: Looks, Trends & Fashion Inspiration We just got back from a week on 30A in Seagrove Beach Florida and it was such an amazing family getaway!We’d never been to 30A, (I hadn’t even heard of it until we moved to Franklin). People here kept asking if we’d been, and it’s the way many people here visit the beach without getting on a flight. It’s about a seven hour drive, and if you leave early enough in the morning you’re there by the afternoon, so it’s doable with kids. We left later than we wanted to and and stopped…
Black Arts & Culture Feature: Reading Time: 4 minutesFor most of the art market, provenance is a value question. For African art it is frequently a legitimacy question, and the two behave very differently. The reason is structural rather than incidental. A great deal of historical African material entered European and American collections during the colonial period, and the documentation that exists tends to record the point of European arrival rather than the circumstances of removal. The chain does not merely have gaps. For a large body of objects it was never written on the African side at all. That…

Here’s the column in its entirety and, as ever before, please allow me know what you think. demonstrate versus Portland ICE in Image, Maine, on Jan. 23 early morning: Ryan Murphy/Getty Images On the dad of Monday, July 13, 2026, a 26 -year-old called…

Real Estate News & Market Insights: House hunting has always been a two-part process; narrowing the field and then getting your eyes on the homes that survive the cut. What’s changed is how powerful that first part has become. A well-built virtual tour can now do in twenty minutes what used to require a full weekend of driving around. However, a virtual tour and an in-person showing aren’t interchangeable, and buyers who treat them that way tend to either waste time on homes they’d have screened out or, more consequentially, skip the visit entirely on a home that had problems…

From Campus to Classroom: Stories That Shape Education For generations, medical research has asked Black communities to trust a system that has not always earned it. Today, Dr. Adrelia Allen is trying to change that – one conversation at a time. In her role as the executive director of Clinical Trial Patient Representation at Merck in New York, Allen wants the topic of participation in clinical trials to become less of a last-minute conversation between a doctor and a newly diagnosed patient and more of an everyday discussion in the communities those trials are intended to serve. That means confronting…
