This month has been a whirlwind, with writing projects, an impromptu office change, and lots of reading. I also want to take the time to celebrate some of my favorite Black creators in honor of Black History Month, as well as reflect on Bad Bunny’s historic Super Bowl performance.

Picture this. A little girl, no older than four, playing alone in her room. With the precision of a stage director, she constructs the scene for her imaginary play. The main character is a Barbie doll with chewed-up feet and hair that has never known peace. Dressed in rags, Barbie is made to trudge up a mountainside (performed by a pile of blankets) in a raging blizzard (performed by a plug-in fan, turned on its maximum setting and positioned about 6 inches from Barbie’s face).
