Remake Our World is a nonprofit global advocacy organization fighting for fair pay and climate justice in the clothing industry. I first found out about this organization on Instagram where it raises awareness about fast fashion brands and their detriment to society. The organization creates advocacy campaigns to get people involved and educated about real time problems in the fashion industry. Two current campaigns are The FABRIC Act and International Accord. In these campaigns, Remake encourages people to sign the petition, call congress, tweet about it, and donate. I encourage people to follow Remake Our World on its online platforms as its information about the fashion industry is current and beneficial in making a difference in this fast fashion problem.
“My Mind and Me” is a recent documentary release surrounding Selena Gomez and her struggles with mental health, her battle with lupus, her struggle with fame, and her diagnosis with bipolar disorder. This documentary started filming in 2016 for what was originally supposed to be a tour movie for her tour in support of her 2016 album release, “Revival.” This took a turn when she was diagnosed with lupus and a bipolar disorder, which took a heavy toll on her mental and physical health. The tour had to be canceled after 55 shows. Aside from shedding light on her struggles, the documentary also shows Gomez reconnecting with the places and people she grew up with. The documentary also lets viewers in on her trip to Kenya where she visited the WE college, which she does charity for and speaks to young women about the struggles they have had and gets to connect with the people there. The documentary also walks viewers through her most recent album release, “Rare,” which came out in 2020 right before the global pandemic. Gomez reads journal entries from her personal diary throughout the film which lets viewers in on her mind and growth throughout the years. She wants people to know that they are not alone in whatever they are struggling with and hopes that if she is open and honest about her struggles then she can help others feel seen and heard. “My Mind and Me” is a breathtaking and honest look into the life of a household name and definitely deserves your attention.

Montego Air Flight 828 landed safely after a few hours in the air, but the passengers and crew soon discovered the world had aged five years without them. For five years, families and friends presumed passengers dead and mourned their loss of them, but now they are back without any explanation with a second chance. The passengers are not the same as before they stepped onto flight 828. They soon start to hear voices and have visions called “callings” of events yet to occur that help them solve crimes and figure out where they were for those five long years. This is a brief synopsis of the show titled “Manifest,” written by Jeff Rake. The first three seasons aired on NBC, but the show was canceled in June 2021. Shortly before the cancellation, however, the show was added to Netflix and topped the viewing charts, causing Netflix to renew “Manifest” for a fourth and final season. Part one of season four premiered on Nov. 4, 2022, and the release of part two is still to be announced, although there has been some speculation among avid viewers. - CARMEN SZUKAITIS

From the cutest thrifted outfits to the most horrific hinge date stories, @ebcjpg on TikTok, aka Lily, has earned herself the title of queen in my books. I first started following her back in 2021 when she attended Paris fashion week and was featured on Vogue’s “Best Dressed” list. However, her “GRWM,” upcycling videos, and her infectious personality has made me a devoted follower for life. Lily is not afraid to tell it how it is, and she breezes right by the hate she may get. She is a confident young woman who is secure in being who she is, and I believe that a lot of young women can look to her for inspiration. Some of my favorite videos by her involve her being invited to a lastminute event. She will quickly either upcycle old clothing into a cute outfit or put together an outfit using distinct pieces. She has even inspired me to craft some of my own outfits at the last minute before a night out with friends. Do not even get me started on Lily’s dating life as it is a little too relatable. I think everyone can say they have been on a bad dating app date (or maybe more than just one). If you have not heard of Lily before, make sure to check her out at @ebcjpg on TikTok and @ebcjpg2 on Instagram.
