MUSIC
Does
Popular Music Have an Inclusiveness Problem?
In
recent years, Hollywood has taken steps to embrace racial diversity
through films and television shows like Black Panther, Fresh off the Boat,
and blackish.

BUSINESS
Can
Mindfulness Coexist With Capitalism?

Aetna CEO Mark
Bertolini introduced meditation and raised wages at
his company, shareholders scoffed — but his insistence that a

remains the ultimate consideration?
