Hispanic Heritage Month begins today, and I have some predictions. As usual, it will be A) largely ignored, B) used occasionally by politicians and educators to make up for all the times they’ve forgotten about a significant portion of the population, and C) a jumping off point for people to discuss how outdated and inaccurate the term “Hispanic” is.

During peak 19 Kids and Counting, Amy Duggar Jordan, Jim Bob’s niece and an only child, often seemed like she had a relatively normal life compared to her many, many cousins. We don’t know about that, but what she does want everyone to know is that just because she’s connected to a family that loves having many kids does not mean anyone needs to voice their opinion on how many she should have....

Every parent recognizes the importance of sleep, both for themselves and their kids. Good sleep habits like regular bedtimes and wake-up times, good-night routines, and setting the right scene with the best sleep products for kids can make a huge difference in whether your child is well rested and ready to be focus at school, play with friends, or just generally be in a good mood the next day. But one thing moms and dads can’t really control could be a factor in children’s behavioral issues like hyperactivity and inattention: snoring....

Gabrielle Union left us speechless in 2017 with her debut memoir, We’re Going to Need More Wine. Now she’s back with a follow-up book called You Got Anything Stronger? that’s just as touching, thoughtful, and vulnerable. Since the release of her first memoir, the Bring it On actress welcomed 2-year-old daughter Kaavia James via surrogacy with former NBA star Dwyane Wade. Union is also a step-parent to Wade’s children from previous relationships: Zaya, Zaire, and Xavier....

We’ve all heard the phrase “sitting is the new smoking,” meaning it’s generally not great for your health to not move around too much. Research has linked sitting for long periods of time with a number of health concerns, including heart disease and diabetes. Less severely, prolonged sitting can increase pain, specifically with tight hip flexors and hamstrings. Additionally, sitting on your butt all day, not surprisingly, affects your butt and causes a condition called gluteal amnesia, also known as “dead butt syndrome....

When we hear the words Independence Day, most of us think of the 4th of July, the day America gained its freedom from Great Britain. But there’s another Freedom Day that is not as well-known, though it holds even greater significance to many African Americans. Juneteenth, Freedom Day or even Jubilee Day is the day that Union General Gordon Granger read a federal order that would free the last enslaved people in Galveston, Texas, a good two years after the Emancipation Proclamation was signed....

The 2020 MTV VMAs are just around the corner, and obviously, this year’s ceremony will be unlike any other. Hosted by the incredible Keke Palmer, the VMAs will be a mostly virtual event due to the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic — though rest assured, we’re still getting those promised performances from Lady Gaga, Miley Cyrus, Ariana Grande, and more. One thing we won’t be seeing? The typical red carpet, which in VMAs history has been the backdrop for some of the best, worst, and most over-the-top award show looks of all time....

Last week, Pink revealed she and her 3-year-old son Jameson Moon were diagnosed with the novel coronavirus, COVID-19. And now that they appear to be on the path to recovery (after weeks of battling the illness), the singer is sharing harrowing new details about their experience — including one particularly terrifying night when her little boy’s health took a dramatic turn. “It’s been two days in our house without a fever, so that’s a relief,” Pink told Ellen DeGeneres in a video chat that aired on Ellentube Thursday....

Between newly resurfaced photos of The Bachelor contestant Rachael Kirkconnell at an antebellum-themed Old South party and Chris Harrison’s disastrous interview with former Bachelorette Rachel Lindsay working overtime to excuse it, racism is once again at the center of Bachelor Nation conversation.
