Despite spending twice as much per capita, we are the only major country not to guarantee health care to all as a human right.

At our Summit, I was asked how it felt to be 1 of 2 Black women left and what that meant for representation. Now, there are no Black women at Teen Vogue and that is incredibly painful to think about.

I'm aware of at least 2 stores that had offered struggling customers a discount, then withdrew it after receiving this email
