High Fidelity‘s unmasked walks through Brooklyn. And Normal People, the complete antithesis of whatever’s going (or not going) on in my love life. But from the start of
The year is 2018. Beyonce delivered one of her most historic performances as the first Black woman to headline a set at Coachella (err, Beychella).
