Mental health issues are not the sole domain of white people. Although that should be obvious, the media visibility afforded to communities of color around these issues—or lack thereof—doesn’t always reflect that. But Latina activist Dior Vargas has made it her mission to make people of color dealing with mental…

It was inevitable, and then it happened: Louis CK made an unannounced appearance at the Comedy Cellar on Sunday night, his first performance since he admitted in November 2017 that he masturbated in front of non-consenting women. CK, who didn’t address his sexual misconduct in his brief set, is clearly testing whether…

Lauryn Hill almost never gives interviews, so on Monday, the artist took another route to get a message out to fans—and at least one recently vocal critic, Robert Glasper, who accused Hill of stealing his friends’ music, mistreating her band, and asking her band not to look her in the eye, among other things. Hill…
