Here’s A Legally Safer Way To Protect Yourself If You’re Sending Intimate Selfie Photos

If you’re sending intimate photos, taking a selfie is legally safer – here’s how to protect yourself. If you’ve considered sending a sexy photo, you’re not alone: research shows that up to 15% of adolescents and 48% of adults have sent sexually explicit texts or images. There’s no shame in sending intimate photos to a partner, but it’s not without risk. If someone betrays your trust and shares them online or with others, it is a form of abuse that can lead to lifelong psychological harm. It may also soon be illegal. New provisions in the UK’s online safety bill currently making its way through parliament will make it a criminal sexual offence to share private, sexual images without consent. They will also make it a crime to “cyberflash” someone – sending an unsolicited nude. If your photo...

An Intimate, Powerful, And Inspiring Memoir By The Former First Lady Of The United States

In a life filled with meaning and accomplishment, Michelle Obama has emerged as one of the most iconic and compelling women of our era. As First Lady of the United States of America—the first African American to serve in that role—she helped create the most welcoming and inclusive White House in history, while also establishing herself as a powerful advocate for women and girls in the U.S. and around the world, dramatically changing the ways that families pursue healthier and more active lives, and standing with her husband as he led America through some of its most harrowing moments.

In her memoir, a work of deep reflection and mesmerizing st...

An Intimate Glimpse Into Segregation-Era Life For African Americans – The Gordon Parks Exhibit

In the spring of 1950, Gordon Parks, the first African-American photographer for Life Magazine, returned to his hometown of Fort Scott, Kansas. On assignment for the magazine, Parks photographed his middle school classmates, who were dispersed among Fort Scott and other Midwestern cities and towns. The resulting images – while quite personal to Parks – offer a glimpse into a community and a set of experiences shared by many African Americans of his generation. Depicting the realities of discrimination without the veil of nostalgia, it’s a body of work that captures the resiliency of a community at a significant point in American history – just prior to the Civil Rights Movement. But for reasons unknown, Life never published the series. Now, the powerful exhibit of over 40 segregation-er...

‘Real Housewives’ Opens Up A Debate On Wealth, Control And Intimate Partner Abuse

Erika Girardi's divorce sparks questions from fans — and speaks to larger issues of financial control in marriage. Jennifer Gerson Originally published by The 19th In December 2020, class-action lawyer Tom Girardi was sued by a class of his former defendants from the 2018 Lion Air flight crash in Indonesia.
