Multitasking seems to be the new normal for so many women. And for Katie H. Willcox, founder and CEO of both Natural Model Management and a body positive brand known as Healthy is the New Skinny, multitasking comes naturally as she quieted her 6-month-old daughter, True, during our phone conversation.

Make Memories: They’ll Last Longer
Graphic by Nate Barton I can truly say that my camera roll, Instagram and Snapchat accounts act as time machines for my memories. They are a semi-tangible way to relive them with just a quick swipe. I can take a trip down memory lane anytime I want: the many late night HAWC trips with my […]
Native Voices Deserve A Place To Be Heard
Graphic by Sarah Kiker I was standing in line at the Starbucks/sushi place in the Caf this week, waiting to place the order for my venti iced coffee, when I heard something that made my blood boil.

Let People Hurt
Graphic by Nate Barton I sat on a couch in the newsroom sobbing less-than-quietly. Cuddled together on two small couches were 10 editors and writers, seeking comfort from each other as we watched the unimaginable happen. Holding hands, heads resting on shoulders, legs entwined, we needed to know we weren’t alone. I kept saying we […]
Where They Lead, I Will Follow
Art by Peau Porotesano I can’t remember which episode was playing on the TV when I received my acceptance to Pepperdine.
