The Anatomy of Fear
I am scared. I am scared. I am scared. I am scared to leave my bed. I am scared to leave my house. I am scared to run the simplest of errands for fear of exposing myself to this virus that continues to baffle the science and medical community.

5 Tips to Make Your Job Search More Effective (Yes, Even During a Pandemic)
Searching for a job sucks. No ifs, ands, or buts about it. It’s time consuming, stressful, and filled with enough rejection to make even those with the thickest of skins a wee bit timid.

New FHA Policy Makes Buying a Home Easier…
One of the main tentpoles of the American dream is the hope of owning a home, complete with the white picket fence, red door, and two-car garage. However, for those of us with student loans, the road to home ownership is fraught with obstacles. Rising housing prices, tighter lending criteria, and the fact that massive student loan debt disproportionately impacts people of color means that many of us have found ourselves unable to start building the generational wealth that we crave through real estate because of the money we borrowed to obtain upward mobility in the form of higher degrees.

Letter From The Editor…
New Year, New Beginnings. This is what January usually represents. A time of rebirth and renewal. A time to redefine who we are and what we stand for. A time to plan for the future. Set goals, make timelines, and start anew.

Your May/June Playlist
Years ago, as a twenty-something Popsy new to the City of Angels, one of the hallmarks of summer season was the annual UCLA Jazz Reggae Fest. Held every Memorial Day weekend for the past thirty-four years, the festival was always a much lauded event for me and my crew. It was an opportunity to not only enjoy some of the greatest musical acts in the country at the time, but was also a great chance to catch up with my girls, flirt with a cute guy or two, and herald the beginning of summertime joys like day parties, pool parties, beach meet-ups, and weekend barbecues. As an homage to this year’s Jazz Reggae Fest which will be happening virtually, our newest playlist perfectly intertwines neosoul jazz with chill r&b and pop tunes that tickle the ear in the best way possible. This playlist was made with long summer drives in mind and is filled with songs that invite you to sit back, relax, and enjoy the beginning of long, sun-filled days and warm, heady nights. The full Spotify playlist is available here for your listening pleasure. Enjoy, and Happy Memorial Day!
