The double-edged sword of “diversity hiring” might damage true equality in the long run. — Diversity. Inclusion. Equal-opportunity hiring. In the past decade, practically every industry has made a conscious effort to hire employees from more diverse backgrounds. However, diversity hiring is a double-edged sword. On the one hand, it’s great. It gets people — who in the past would have never been given a…

Can we talk about therapy?

Wanting to go to therapy is a good enough reason to go, I promise. — I was lucky. I did not grow up in a household where therapy was taboo. Mental health issues were never labeled as fake or weak. My parents just wanted me to be happy. If something was wrong that required professional help, I knew they’d support it, no questions asked. Later…

I Have More Rights as a Corpse than as a Pregnant Woman

Please explain why can I refuse to donate my organs but cannot stop an unwanted pregancy? — Welcome to the world we live in. The gavel has banged, the dust has settled and now in America, I have more rights over my body as a corpse than I do as a pregnant woman. I wish I could be shocked, but I’m not. I’m appalled, upset, terrified and…

The Fear of my Words Being Used Against Me

When you aren’t there to defend your words, it becomes someone else’s twisted version — Welcome to the age of the internet. Where your greatest moments and accomplishments can live on forever. Where your mistakes can be deleted but never truly erased. Where nothing is ever dead and gone and buried, because it can always be dug up and then shoved back in your face. …

Moments Where Tokyo 2020 Olympic Medalists Were Shockingly Relatable

Even for those of us who get tired from running to the bus stop — It’s the time of year we turn on our TVs to see 13-years-olds win Olympic golds, sprints that are over before we finish our two-bite brownies, and triple backflips followed by splits that make it look like they have elastic-band bones. Even for us mere mortals who get tired from…

Putting into perspective extreme wealth inequalities, and Amazon’s economic impact — Most of us are not strangers to the affronted Mid-life crisis. The stereotypes of middle-aged men buying fast cars they cannot afford and pursuing young pretty women they don’t even want, don’t stray too far from reality. And now it appears that there is a new midlife crisis trend for…

Arguably the Greatest of All Time, the four-time Olympic goal medallist and defending all-around gymnast was one of the faces of this year's Olympics game.

Titles Not To Use When Marketing Women in Leadership

There is a thin line between empowering and derogatory — I am all for empowering and highlighting successful women and female leaders. However, there is a difference between celebrating the success that these women have achieved, and downplaying their accomplishments with cutesy names. Leadership roles come with coveted titles. People WANT to be the “boss”. They DREAM of the “CEO”…

What Taylor Swift’s New Album Can Teach Us About the Music Industry

“Fearless (Taylor’s Version)” is an even bigger power move than you think — Taylor Swift stuck a big fat middle finger up at her haters. Except this time, instead of writing a single song, she released an entire album. And the album is called “Fearless (Taylor’s Version).” That’s right. The same “Fearless” that topped the charts in 2008 — “Love Story”, “You Belong…
