If you’ve been on Netflix in the last week, you probably noticed that the 2011 film The Help has been trending steadily. In fact, it’s been in the Top 10 ever since protests over George Floyd’s death began. But now, Bryce Dallas Howard — one of the movie’s stars — is steering subscribers away from the movie. But her reason why is important, and something that every white viewer should pay attention to....
The huge arching rainbow of balloons welcoming students at the entrance of my children’s school had already been taken down when I called to see if maybe, just maybe, it would still be up the following week, when it was my week with my children. The first week of school has ended for them. They have explored the brand-new school building (their school was under construction all last year), worn their new face masks, sat at their new desks, met their new teachers, and had music, art, and gym three times already....
In the new ESPN documentary D. Wade: Life Unexpected, NBA star Dwyane Wade opens up about the most unexpected parts of his own life. Not (just) his stunning ascent in the world of pro basketball, but about his family with wife Gabrielle Union, and kids Zaire, Zaya, Xavier, Dahveon, and Kaavia. From the moment he became a father, Wade was intent on being the best, most present father he could be....

Two months after the baby I was expecting died in utero, I was late to pick up my kindergartener. We lived in Brooklyn, but Henry’s school was in Manhattan, and our evenings were often rushed. I took the school’s front steps two at a time, my whole body an exhausted ache. I longed to tuck my two children into bed and attempt, once again, to sleep. In the lobby, Henry raced over to me, chattering about something he’d made in art class that he wanted to show his dad....
I’d often heard that the depth of a mother’s love for her child is immeasurable, but I didn’t find out for myself until my daughter and I were thrown into the bottomless ocean that is Dravet Syndrome. DS is basically just a really bad type of epilepsy — and parenting a kid with DS means seizures (lots of seizures, very long seizures, and every kind of seizure). But it is oh so much more than just that....
Barack Obama’s long-awaited new presidential and personal memoir A Promised Land is full of interesting details about the former POTUS’ inner life — none more interesting to us, however, than those about wife Michelle Obama and their marriage. The great conflict, detailed some in Michelle’s own memoir Becoming, is that Michelle never saw herself as a politician’s wife, and it wasn’t what she envisioned for their family. But with patience, understanding, and compromise, they built a new vision of the future — and only now are we hearing some of the details of what bothered Michelle in her day-to-day....
So many of us want to choose baby names that honor our family heritage, but would we still do that if it might be somehow harmful to their future happiness and success? That worry led a new mother to give her son a “Eurocentric” name instead of the African baby name her husband wanted to give him. It’s a choice that saddens us deeply, and it’s caused a rift between these new parents....

Pink didn’t reveal her positive COVID-19 diagnosis until this past Friday, April 3 — two weeks after she and her son fell ill, and after they were both already feeling better and had re-tested negative. And that was probably a brilliant move on her part; she let her kid (and herself) heal in peace without a constant bombardment of check-ins, however well-meaning, from fans and friends alike. “Two weeks ago my three-year old son, Jameson, and I are were showing symptoms of COVID-19,” Pink wrote on her Instagram....

When the first birth control pill hit the market in 1960 it was considered revolutionary. A liberation for women. They were emancipated from the bondage of their child bearing bodies and able to assert autonomy over their wombs to take back control of their lives. Now, more than 60 years since the first iteration of the pill was approved, there has been little to no innovation in the area of contraception to meet the needs of today’s modern users....
