Happy May! The key buzzword for this month is “Self-Care”. May is Mental Health Awareness month and many celebrities are publicly sharing their personal stories of mental health struggles to raise awareness and de-stigmatize the conversation around mental health. Check out this issue’s Culture section to read about women such as Sophie Turner, Bebe Rexha, Ariana Grande, Lady Gaga, Selena Gomez, Kristen Bell, P!nk and many more who are determined to generate honest dialogue around mental health and let people know they are not alone with their struggles.
In Entertainment we celebrate Olivia Wilde who made her directorial debut with the critically acclaimed new movie Booksmart which she said was inspired by the smart girls of this generation and Variety hailed as “The best high school buddy comedy since ‘Superbad.’” We also write about Madonna the OG chameleon artist who is gradually releasing singles from her highly anticipated new album Madame X. She will be performing at this year’s Eurovision Awards taking place in Tel Aviv, Israel. Many other veteran female musicians are making comebacks this month – the Spice Girls are launching their reunion tour (minus Victoria Beckham) on May 29th in Manchester, England and Janet Jackson starts a Las Vegas Residency fresh off of her induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
We are so excited to feature our favorite feminist artist Ashley Longshore for this month’s Five Questions. Ashley is a self-taught artists and favorite pop feminist icon. We talk to her about her exploding success, what inspires her and what motivates her.
Of course May also brings Mother’s Day! Meghan, Duchess of Sussex and Amy Schumer are two brand new moms that will be celebrating for the first time this year.
