From my early beginnings as a young introvert, the public library has always been a bit of a refuge. Years later, not much has changed, albeit with an additional affinity for endless hours spent scouring second-hand bookstores to add to my ever-growing “to-read” pile. From one bookworm to another, this column will be underscoring and… Read more »
What matters most in life? If you’ve been asked by friends or family “what the matter is,” or been confronted with claims that you possess too much of a scowl for your own good, or that dreaded resting bitch face, you know that matter is more than a physicist’s imaginary landscape of facts, figures, and… Read more »
Sports films led by women characters often integrate supplementary themes such as growing up, overcoming prejudice, and/or falling in love. It’s not every day, however, that we see one addressing the protagonist’s struggle to not only make it as an athlete, but also to reconcile the cultural differences she stands between.

This past week I was going through my mail, and I opened a letter from EcoJustice about a new pesticide that was ordered to be phased out in Canada over a three-year period—despite the European Union and United States having already banned it. The pesticide in question is Chlorpyrifos. When I first read the word,… Read more »
So recently, I’ve been very focused on skincare. It’s a popular topic but it’s one of the hardest routines to stick to. I find it so easy to forget to moisturize or apply serums every night. Now that I’m specializing in skincare in my everyday medical practice, I am more in tune with my own… Read more »
You’re meant to be a loved leader, whether you’re a mother, boss, teacher, or older sibling. Your leadership is meant to bring out the best in everyone, not just in performance, but in spirit.
