Brooklyn, New York
I am a journalist with five years of experience at a major news organization now freelancing full time.
A year and a half ago, I attempted to pursue a case against the stranger who sexually assaulted me. That day, in a small room painted blue, the detective asked how much I had to drink and questioned my character.
UNCONSCIONABLE On September 5, 2008, Fate Vincent Winslow watched a plainclothes stranger approach him. Homeless and hungry, on a dark street rife with crime, the 41-year-old African American was anxious to make contact, motivated by one singular need: food. Another man, this one white, stood next to Winslow.
Sage Chanell had always dreamed of playing the female role in her tribe's stomp dance. It's a ceremony that women more or less run, using shells on their legs to keep time while men chant. Playing an opposite-gender role is not an option.
AH: All along people have been referring to this as a protest, but you've mentioned the desire to be recognized as "protectors" not "protesters." Why do you feel strongly about that distinction? EW: It is a protection, not a protest. Everything that we do is in protection of the land.
In the wee hours of the morning after a long, long night (goodbye, a.m. workout), Donald Trump emerged as the winner of the 2016 presidential race.

On July 13, 1958, in the middle of the night, police raided the bedroom of newlyweds Richard and Mildred Loving, a white man and a black woman, and arrested them for violating the Virginia law that said two people of different races couldn't marry. (Twenty-three other states had similar bans.)
Vision Quest This 18-year-old is about to begin a three-day, neo-African, sometimes-terrifying, ritualistic trip. Can it help her get clean? It's been 56 hours since Grace Bergere's last shot of heroin-too long. Curled into a fetal position on an outdoor, candle-lit matt in Costa Rica, the 18-year-old trembles in fear.
Bella Hadid is laughing-something the model, who's usually so serious in photos, actually does a lot. "Don't watch," the 19-year-old shouts to the Glamour crew packing up the remains of her photo shoot. "It'll be better for everyone!" Then, as Hadid's favorite song, "Stray Cat Strut," begins, she lets loose-lip-synching the lyrics "Wild stray cat, you're a real gone guy."
