Are You Feeling Valued?. Top Story - April 2026.
How are you feeling right now about your life? How's your career going? How's your personal life? A lot of questions, I know, but they should be easy to answer if everything is going great. Most people struggle to answer those questions because there's always something that we are unhappy with.

This Question Really Hurts. Top Story - April 2026.
I was not going to write about this because it is one of those subjects I find too painful to talk about. However, I've decided to take the courage to talk about it, because I feel my feelings on the topic need to be expressed.

Why Wicked: For Good is Undeservingly the ‘worse movie’. Top Story - March 2026.
So… off the bat, we’re about to delve into something ridiculous. Just so we’re clear on that, ok? The first thing anyone that knows a thing about these dual movies… knows… is the original movie and sequel were shot together.

The Black Scotland I Never Knew. Top Story - March 2026.
As most will know who follow my work, I’m rather fond of being Scottish. While it’s not a kind of horrific patriotism that puts other nations down, it is a sense of pride that I was born here. One of the many things (and there are many—which may be ironic really, but don’t we have as many complaints about the places we love as things we love?) that wrong-footed me in life was the fact that, in the small suburban town of Stepps, outside Glasgow, where I spent most of my formative years, there weren’t many Black people. I was raised Catholic, went to Catholic school for both primary and secondary, and most people I encountered were Scottish white or Western European white. I learned about Black people and Black culture from television, music, films, and books. I loved hip-hop, Eddie Murphy, Spike Lee, John Singleton, Jimi Hendrix, and far too many others to mention. But I had very little real-life experience, year to year, with Black people in my life, which I find rather strange—but it is what it is. So when approaching this, rather than choosing some of the big names, I thought I would educate myself on some Black Scottish people of importance and what they achieved.

Chronic Ache in the Soul of a Single Parent . Top Story - March 2026.
There is a chronic ache in the soul of a single parent. It lingers, feeling endless. This ache feels so difficult, especially when you look at other families. They seem so… whole. They seem so joyful and complete. There is a husband and a wife and children in a stroller. Thinking about your single state, you realize how awkward you feel, how out of place at various functions and gatherings. They are all happily together and you’re miserably alone. Disappointment with the current life circumstances just settles in to stay, or so it feels. How could these layers of disappointment be broken up anyhow?

You Should Stop Trying to Be a Better Person . Top Story - March 2026.
A year ago, I spent two days in the Colombian mountains drinking ayahuasca as part of a spiritual ceremony. An experience that pulled apart every detail of my being and rearranged me in a new sequence. I wish that life became easier after the feat. It didn’t.

We Will Bury You. Top Story - March 2026. Content Warning.
How do you deal with the vast disappointment and anger and rage and grief and rage and RAGE and RAGE and RAGE when a community icon, who did so much to help your gente, is found to be the type of monster that still makes me believe in capital punishment?

Thief In The Night. Top Story - March 2026.
To the thief in the night that took and replicated what once was mine: Honestly, I feel kind of bad for you. It’s funny, because we hardly know each other. I only know of you through the magazines you’ve written and the broadcasts you have televised in the past — as well as through the public mentions of you from your show business connections there.

Why Didn't Anyone Tell Us. Top Story - March 2026.
Men, move along. This is not for you. This is for the women. I was forty-five when I began menopause. It is pretty young for that to be going on in a woman’s life, but I had undiagnosed PCOS, my entire life. Thank you to all the gynecologists I had seen my entire life. That in itself should encourage women to keep seeking second opinions, especially when you are not getting correct answers or any at all.
