- Social media platform Instagram has become an accessible place for the Black community to share mental health resources.
Psychologist Mariel Buquè says persons of color have historically not self-connected to therapy and, more often than not, drop out after the first session.
Another study has found it's also harder for black people to even get an appointment with a psychotherapist.
Allure reports that for the past couple of years, dozens of Black therapists have grown their followings by leaps and bounds.
They post informative graphics, meditation techniques, and book recommendations. Many of their suggestions are rooted in their collective history.
Psychologist Jennifer Mullan realized traditional forms of therapy often ignores the fact that trauma often stems from systemic racism.
Her account @decolonizingtherapy provides a space for people to find others who share their traumatic experiences, especially within the context of racism.

- The World Health Organization says people with the novel coronavirus are most infectious just at the point when they first begin to feel sick.
According to Reuters, WHO experts said Tuesday that it was this feature that has made it so hard to control the spread of the virus that causes COVID-19.
However, officials said it can be accomplished through social distancing and robust testing.
It appears...that people have more virus in their body at or around the time that they develop symptoms, so very early on. Maria van Kerkhove Epidemiologist, World Health Organization
The virus lodges in the upper respiratory tract, making it easier to transmit by droplets. Related viruses like SARS or MERS are in the lower tract.

- Before the novel coronavirus COVID-19 pandemic, take-out food was usually seen as a hurried convenience.
For special nights, people went out to dinner. But thousands of restaurants are now closed--and may remain that way.
So how do you make take-out food eaten at home feel more like a special night out?
According to Business Insider, it all comes down to the atmosphere. Light candles, string fairy lights, and use your best china and silverware.
Invest in some luxurious cloth napkins, either restaurant-style white or thematically linked to the style of food you enjoy.
'Plate' your food like a restaurant would, with garnishes or a drizzle of oil or sauce. Fancy!
Finally, make your serving dishes a feast for the eyes, too. Crystal or ceramic bowls are far more elegant than aluminum foil loaf tins!

- How much lower can Lea Michele sink?
Extras from her TV show 'Glee' have come forward and spilled the beans to US magazine.
An on-set source exclusively tells Us Weekly that in 2012 the Glee alum, 33, “couldn’t be bothered” to mingle with the extras and crew.
“Lea would pass by and ignore the extras. I saw other cast members mingling with extras and crew."
“She literally acted like I didn’t exist when I said hello to her. She didn’t even acknowledge me.”
Imia Fleur Edwards worked as an extra on Glee in 2012, tells Us that Michele burped in her face while on set.
“During one of the takes she walked really close to me and made this loud burp almost right in my face as she was passing by."
"She didn’t say ‘Excuse me’ or even acknowledge my presence. No eye contact, nothing.'”
