Her American Sister
It was 1992. She was 17, a high-caste girl from a good family. I was barely 22 and fresh from a liberal arts college in Oregon. In Peace Corps training we learned that Nepalese women are demure, that they laugh quietly and keep their eyes downcast.

No Plus One . Top Story - May 2024.
It's nearly one AM and I just got back from my third wedding of the four in this last month alone, and I have always been alone. I hide behind my camera to pretend to be useful, hide behind a safety net of skill set. So I do not have to confront the loneliness that is sleeping alone when everyone else seems to have a partner to crawl into bed with. I love the time spent with those who decided I was worth the 30-plus dollars per plate they decided to spend on me, and I do not need to have a partner on these occasions, but it would be nice to have someone notice, me. See when I am in the corner because they know I need time to recharge and to kiss me on the head until the time has come to leave. Maybe that's the problem about being a professional storyteller, I dream of something that isn't meant for me.

Food fuels community across the globe
Stephanie Sang (Madagascar, 2016–18) How did food help you connect to your community abroad? Cooking meals together was a wonderful way to spend time and connect with my host family, especially in the beginning when my language was limited. Food preparation on the southeastern coast of Madagascar involves fetching water to wash the vegetables and dishes, as well as cutting and gathering dry wood for the fire. Helping with those chores was a small way I could show gratitude for my host family's generosity.

#ShePower
There are a variety of challenges that exist for youth in rural areas such the students of Mlindazwe High School in Mgotjane, Eswatini. The rural nature of these communities in conjunction with a high school curriculum that does not include coursework in the arts, results in a lack of exposure to art, creative expression, education and employment opportunities in the creative arts.

The Art of Redemption. Content Warning.
In the heart of a bustling city, where the neon lights danced in the night sky and the streets pulsed with the rhythm of life, there lived a man named Daniel. Once, he had been a rising star—a talented artist whose paintings had captivated the world with their beauty and depth. But that had been long ago, before the demons of addiction had consumed him, leaving behind nothing but shattered dreams and broken promises.

Toxic Relationships: The Most Addictive Drug
As human beings it is in our nature to connect. We all crave connection and went through a period in our lives when we went without it. For most of us it started during our childhoods, coming from a household with an inconsistent caregiver. The inconsistency of this connection leaves a hole in our hearts and an emptiness that compels us to look for connection elsewhere. That elsewhere often comes in the form of unhealthy attachments like drinking and drug usage, but who would’ve ever guest that the most addictive drug came in the form of people? The most addictive drug is a toxic relationship.
