Why We Must Vote – The Millennial Point of View

UncategorizedSeptember 27, 20200Comments

Supreme Court Justice, Ruth Bader Ginsburg passed away on Friday, the 18th. If I’m being completely honest, when the notification texts came through from my mom, aunt, and grandma, I didn’t understand what that meant for our country. And if I’m being even more honest, I still don’t fully, but I have learned what the…

Snowblind in LA

Pursuing Your PassionSeptember 20, 20200Comments

Don’t die, don’t die, please God don’t die! I had no idea what would happen when a dumb ass twenty-something, working on one of his first music videos put regular gasoline in the diesel tank of a 4-ton truck carrying tens of thousands of dollars’ worth of set design and equipment. I figured at some…

Your Privilege is Showing

UncategorizedSeptember 16, 20200Comments

Privilege. A nice and heavy word to cause tension among the masses. As I read Nate’s story (the featured writer for this Sunday), I appreciated his candor while recognizing his view was likely born out of serious reflection. Even as I formulated the questions I would post on Instagram this week (yes, I spend entirely…

I Miss My Mom – Featuring Serenity Ferguson

UncategorizedSeptember 13, 20200Comments

I know Chuck Bass can't be the only other person that's been told they killed their mother at birth... considering he's a fictional character and we’re still in the midst of a pandemic, I don't think I'll be breaking bread with him anytime soon. And I'm not necessarily saying the thoughts of my mother's death haunts…

It’s Been A Year

UncategorizedSeptember 6, 20200Comments

Many of us have heard and watched James Lipton interview performers on his show, Inside The Actors Studio, where he asks the same ten questions in that righteous, but earnest tone, such as ‘what sound do you love?’ or ‘what is your least favorite word?’ I’ve been greatly entertained watching beloved actors give their answers…

The Future of Fashion with Devon James

Pursuing Your PassionAugust 31, 20200Comments

I first met Devon circa 2008, playing beer pong at a house party in Peoria, and naturally, we bonded over our shared name, as well as our ability to sink a white ball in the last red cup to seal a glorious win. We connected sporadically over the years following, and more recently, through Instagram…

The Thing About Happiness

RelationshipsAugust 23, 20200Comments

I sat down with Tasha via Zoom (because is there any other way to connect now?) just a few days before her 30th birthday, for a chat that I knew would be enthralling. We’d connected a few months earlier about putting something together, but I guess you could say the timing just wasn’t right. Her…

“I’m not going to sit here and tell you I have sex three times a day and masturbate with dildos all the time when I don’t,” she said matter of factly.

Why Do I Feel Different?

My name is Katy Coic and I would like to share my story. My story of finding out that my dad is not my biological father. As I’m sitting here (re)writing this, it’s the day after father’s day and I’ve been trying to process a plethora of emotions; guilt for wanting to know more about…

We Are Family

UncategorizedAugust 12, 20200Comments

From a conscious level, I think we can all concede to the fact that we don’t choose our family. If we did, I certainly wouldn’t have selected a dad that enjoyed the fine pleasure of a Coors more than the warm embrace of my newborn body. But, in a way, the family we have provides…

The Underground World of Human Trafficking featuring Jesse Hugus

UncategorizedAugust 9, 20200Comments

A couple weeks ago, I reached out to my Instagram audience asking if any of them knew a police officer I could interview. Many of us have been doing our part to support the Black Lives Matter efforts — to first raise awareness about how widespread and embedded racism has seeped into our psyche, but…

I Went to a March for The Children — What I Witnessed Was Disturbing

UncategorizedAugust 6, 20200Comments

March For The Children Audio Be aware that I’m writing this on day two of my no-food detox so I’m feeling on edge… feisty, if you will. I want a cookie so bad. Speaking of, I have a smashed Crumbl cookie sitting on my kitchen counter; despite my resistance to sugar over the last several months, I crumbled at…
