There are so many aspects of health that disproportionately affect the Black community, and yet less than six percent of US doctors are Black — a deficit that only further harms public health. Many of the Black folks who work in healthcare have dedicated their careers to combatting inequities. That’s why, this Black History Month,

If you’re testing out an activewear brand for the first time, you might as well fly to LA and see how it fares against professional choreography. At least, such was my thinking for Fabletics’s 10-year anniversary celebration, featuring a dance class taught by professional dancer and choreographer for Lana del Rey, Alexandria Kaye.
