NEW ORLEANS, La. – In the middle of Mardi Gras and just a few blocks off Bourbon Street in New Orleans, there’s an ink master leaving permanent marks on multiple generations. Jacci Gresham is known to many as America’s first black female tattoo artist. When we met Gresham, she was tattooing the jawline of one of her workers. “It’s an honor to get a panther from Jacci,” said the woman getting the tattoo. “Because she’s like the blackest panther of them all.” Gresham started tattooing in an era when women – especially black women – weren’t involved or even respected in the industry. “At that time women weren’t recognized as tattoo artists,” she said. “So, especially to see a black woman doing tattoos was kind of unusual – to see a woman doing tattoos was unusual.” Gresham gave her first tattoo in her home state of Michigan in 1972. After losing her job in the automotive industry, she moved to New Orleans and opened up what would become the city’s oldest tattoo shop – Aart Accent Tattoos and Body Piercing. Along the way, Gresham estimates that she’s inked thousands of people from all kinds of cultures – including a member of the Ku Klux Klan. “It was interesting to talk to somebody from a Klan’s person that would allow a black person to tattoo them,” she said. “And the reason why he allowed me to tattoo him – or so he said – was because I gave a good tattoo.” Gresham believes a good tattoo can help break down old racial barriers while also inspiring younger artists. “I see it every day here,” she said. “We do quite a cross section of people. I have black artists, white artists, Spanish artists. And people are looking for the art. They’re not looking at the who actually did the work.” Now in her 70s, Gresham is still perfecting her craft while adding art to human canvases with the hope her impact lasts longer than the tattoo ink that runs skin deep.“Stay on that grind,” she said. “If it’s in your heart, you can’t give it up.” 1969

A tidal wave of information hits us daily from the moment we open our phone and computer, and when it comes to social media, spotting "fake" from "fact" before you share news and photos takes some work! "More people are getting their information through social media,” says Katy Byron, program director of MediaWise with the Poynter Institute. Byron points to a Stanford University study, explaining just how widespread the issue of deciphering fiction from non-fiction is among teens. "More than 80 percent of teenagers don't know the difference between a real news story and a native advertisement online," says Byron. This is why Poynter’s MediaWise program was created. "We want to reach 1 million teens by 2020," says Byron. The program uses teen fact checkers that post social media videos to help others to determine what is real and what’s not. The crusade of teens across the country are also helping others determine how to debunk misinformation. “I think this is something anyone can do right now,” Byron says. Byron says before sharing pictures and articles online, ask yourself these three questions: 1. Who's behind the information? 2. What is the evidence? 3. What do other sources say? "I hope that we reach as many kids as we can with the curriculum and what we are teaching on our social media channels, so that they'll take these skills with them throughout their lives," Byron says. 1417

My autistic nephew turned 21 this year and got his first paid job. I'm wildly proud of him for making this happen. He was able to buy Christmas gifts for everyone this year and was soooo excited about it. His card and gift made me smile and melts my heart. 272

EVANSTON, Ill. – If you drive too fast, you could miss it. But a chance turn into one alley just north of Chicago will transport you into a drive-thru art gallery. “I wanted to take this place this alley which is just ugly or lackluster and make it into something special,” explained Teresa Parod. The Evanston, Illinois-based painter and artist is the person behind several vibrant garage door murals. From floral motifs to interplanetary themes, her goal she says is to uplift people through her painting. “I want all my public art to be positive because no one who walks down this alley… most didn't ask me to paint this,” she said. “So, I don't want them to come and see some something that is very negative or makes them feel unhappy.” The canvases range from one-and-a-half to two car garage doors. She only charges for material. The medium: house paint. “What I really like is when people come who are not in the neighborhood and they're just riding their bikes or walking dog and they're like well what is this? And it's something special,” said Parod. The artist started with her own door, concerned with how her neighbors might respond. “This is my own garage. And I thought it would be fun to put the front of my house on my garage,” she said. But many have embraced transforming the back alley into a gallery of vibrant, public works of art. Neighbor Judy Slagle saw the work and just had to have her garage door painted as well. Hers is a collection of brightly colored sunflowers. “When I came home especially in the winter like it is now, I wanted to come home and have something that would make me smile and other people I hope too,” said Slagle For an enhanced experience, Parod’s husband Bill, a sound artist and software developer, is creating an augmented reality app. Virtual birds can be seen on the screen interacting with the paintings. He is designing customized vignettes for each door. “So that we could walk to them and you could hear something in 3D and walk around and the birds and so on could fly around,” he explained. The doors are now in high demand. “Everybody started asking me to do them and I have a waiting list,” said Parod. “So, I hope to do the whole alley and I hope to do more alleys.” And while Parod may see the world as her canvas, this time it’s right up her alley. 2346

A breakup can be devastating, leaving people in an emotional wreck. However, there’s a unique service that is helping people quickly get back on their feet. “There really is a tremendous loss of personal identity, leaving a shared relationship,” says Onward co-found Lindsay Meck. “You sort of define yourself a part of that couple. You might have a pretty extended shared friend group, even family members.” That's why Meck and Mika Leonard started their company Onward, a post-breakup concierge service. “Necessity is the mother of invention, so my best friend, who is my co-founder, and I both went through our own big city breakups about six months apart,” says Meck. With a breakup comes the daunting task of rearranging your life. "Dealing with address changes, dealing with all the logistics, coupled with the emotions of being sad, but still needing to be a functional member of society,” explains Meck of the help Onward provides. With Onward, you chose from three post-breakup packages to get you back on your feet. For , the 10-day reboot will help you pack up, move out and provides self-care amenities. The 30-day recharge includes helping you find a new place, new furniture, and even help you setup all your new utilities. That will cost you 5. Then, there's the three-month recalibrate for 0. It’s an upgrade that also includes getting you a therapist and provides activities to join to help you meet new people. "You just need someone who can pack your stuff, make those phone calls for you, when you are just really trying to get out of bed every day,” Meck says. Starting over isn't easy, which is why the founders of Onward believe in their service. “Trying to resume by yourself, because you're usually with a partner all the time, so doing things alone would be kind of hard," says Meck. Right now, Onward is only in New York City, but they have big plans to expand their post-breakup service nationwide. There are similar companies, like Untied and Worthy, that also work to help divorcees get back on their feet. "There's no magic formula of getting over a relationship; it takes time,” says Meck. “But in the meantime, you want to be put in the best possible situation to move forward, and that can be really hard." 2272
