Pull out something that raised you. I’ve been revisiting As Told by Ginger, and it hit different. Those storylines? Way heavier than we gave them credit for as kids. Choose your own time capsule, and see what that younger you still wants to say.

Book a night at Frevo in NYC. There’s something quietly intoxicating about walking through an unmarked gallery wall into a space that feels built just for you. It’s intimacy wrapped in culinary artistry, and it’s worth every second.

If you haven’t already, make space for Seven Days in June by Tia Williams. It’s romance with muscle. Smart, sensual, emotionally present—and written by someone who knows how Black women move through the world.

It’s boot season, and I need you to meet the ARCH NYC Lovestruck Ankle Boot. That heart-shaped heel? She’s not cute—she’s intentional. She’s giving power with a wink. The kind of boot that doesn’t need to match the outfit because she is the outfit.
