In a time when the country feels so divided, Corey O'Brien & Ryan Russell’s love solidifies to me how love can heal all. These two very unique men found each other during a time they didn’t think they were even interested in a relationship, but were so charming that they couldn’t get enough of each other. A year later, they are stronger than ever, supporting each other in the midst of 2020 chaos, celebrating sobriety, going to Black Lives Matter protests, and creating a YouTube Channel to celebrate their love and individuality. To learn about one of 2020’s cutest couples, please read further.

But, we’ve been through a lot this year — wildfire in Australia, global pandemic, Black Lives Matter. People are taking actions to fight for human rights, environmentalism, and climate change. Can we finally close the gap? Is this the year of evolution towards Stakeholder Capitalism?
Read MoreThis week marks two months of straight Black Lives Matter protests in New York City, and in many other places across the United States. In the midsts of a pandemic, people from all over the world have come together to support the black community and fight against police brutality.

This has been a unique time in history because everything has been closed and boarded up and artists are without work. So, the streets of SoHo have had more empty canvases for the incredible and relevant art sprouting up everywhere. Artists are listed last on the list of essential businesses, but as history is happening around us, we are busier than ever. It is the art people will look back on to document the past, and that art is screaming to be heard, for justice, and for change.

Read MoreAs our society is constantly debating between being too politically correct or down right racist, the fashion industry, despite being celebrated for being forward thinking, is shockingly behind the times. There are more white models than any other race, and Asian models are a huge minority, particularly Asian men. When Asian men are represented, they are often showcased as exotic or androgynous, almost never as sexual beings. Well, we here at Jejune feel that Scott Neslage ( @scottneslage), from Soul Management, shot by Harold Mindel (@harold.mindel), will help change how the fashion world looks at Asian men!
