Taraji P. Henson
Unapologetic artist
Even before I knew her, I already felt like Taraji P. Henson was my friend. She was an actor I loved to watch, and I always felt like I could relate to her because she perfectly embodied who we are as women. I couldn't wait to meet her. And when I finally did, it was on and popping from there. Taraji fit right into my crew. What I love most about her is that she is unapologetically herself. Taraji is a real woman-she doesn't bite her tongue, and she's not afraid to stand for what she believes in. She's always true and authentic, and she's just as fearless onscreen, which is why she's one of my favorite actors. Watching her commit 1 million percent to whatever character she's portraying is amazing. Her courage really sets her apart, in Hollywood and in real life.
Even though she doesn't need any advice, I'll say this to my beautiful friend: Taraji, my sis, keep being yourself and keep doing what you're doing. There's nobody like you. I love you.

Demonstrating strength
BY MANA SHIM
There wasn't a question in Jenni Hermoso's mind that what Luis Rubiales did to her onstage after her team won the 2023 Women's World Cup was wrong. When Rubiales, the president of the Spanish football federation― Hermoso's boss-grabbed her face and kissed her, millions of us watching live on television knew it was wrong too.

5 ways to ease nighttime your anxiety
SWEET DREAMS ARE MORE like a pipe dream when 12 a.m. turns into 2 a.m.-and you still can't stop worrying about all the work you have to do, the bills you need to pay, the argument you had with your sister, and the feeling that you maybe, probably, definitely are going to die sooner than you should because of a lack of sleep.
