At 5ft 2in, the vast, glossyroom, dressed with bright stage graphics and American flags, could havesomewhat eclipsed her, but Harris had presence. “We’re at an inflection point,”she said, locking eyes with the camera, commanding attention. “The constantchaos leaves us adrift. The incompetence makes us feel afraid. The callousnessmakes us feel alone. It’s a lot. And here’s the thing: we can do better…

“Let’s Embrace The Optimism Of September” I have spent the past week with my finger hovering over thethermostat… wobbling in my resolve to never put the heating on pre-October. ButI am being tested; socks are back, jumpers are on and my raincoat feels likethe most luxurious item in my wardrobe right now. It genuinely feels like autumnhas never hit so hard or fast before. Just one second ago it was summer – formost of us there were bursts of social normality, staycations or time off work,and for the lucky few a farflung getaway (admittedly, with a possible stint inquarantine as a result). There was a heatwave that had most of the countryslipping into their swimmers, a spell so hot that I didn’t sleep for threeweeks… now it’s all umbrellas, blankets…

“Adulting wasn’t what Iexpected” words: billie bhatia My greatest desire as a child was to bean adult. I dreamt day and night of getting older, I wished away the years in ahurry, hungry to reach the nirvana of adulthood. A place where I believed truefreedom and abundant fun lay – where you could do what you wanted when youwanted, eat ice cream for breakfast, go to bed past midnight andrun off to faraway lands at the drop of a hat.(Evidently, from an early age, my concept of finances was non-existent.) When I told adults my grand plan of speedingup my years to become just like them, I was ominously met with “Just you wait”and “It’s not all it’s cracked up to be”. Classic adults, never seeing the funof it all.…

stephanie yeboah “Where are the fat, Black heroines?” In 2020, pop culture still has a huge representationproblem, writes influencer and author Stephanie Yeboah Growingup, one of my favourite cartoons was Tom And Jerry. I’d force my dad tolet me watch it after school, and I became obsessed. One character inparticular who struck me, however, was the mysterious, torso-less Black womanwho kept Tom and Jerry in line. This was the first time I’d ever seen Black,plus-size representation on screen – and it was in the form of a servant fromthe American South. Twoand a half decades later, I’m coming in straight off the bat: as a Black, fatwoman, I am exhausted by seeing women who look like me exist as mere comedictropes and archaic stereotypes rooted in racism. If I had…

beauty The Best Luxury hand gels Antibacterial handsanitiser may be a post-lockdown essential, but you needn’t put up with sticky,noxious formulas thanks to a new wave of indulgent products words: ShannonPeter Before lockdown, I naively thought that antibacterial hand gel wasa one-size-fits-all, standard-issue formula that simply does the job. I wastotally wrong. If the last six months have taught me anything, it’s that notall hand sanitisers are created equal. In fact, nowadays, no longer do I judgeshops based on the quality of their window displays, or restaurants by thesound of their menus, I judge them on the quality of the hand gel in theirentranceway. And boy is there a spectrum.First you get the dribbly ones, or what I consider the devil ofthe sanitiser world. The kind that rapidly squirts out…
