May 30 marks Memorial Day in the us; an American holiday observed on the last Monday of May, honoring the men and women who died while serving in the U.S. military.

However, research from America’s leading biography-writing service, Story Terrace, found over half of

During May, we acknowledge and celebrate the accomplishments and contributions of our neighbors of Asian American and pacific islander descent. Or simply AAPI month.

WE SEE EACH OTHER is a personal history of trans visibility since the beginning of moving images by Tre’vell Anderson. A literary reckoning, it unearths a transcestry that’s long existed in plain sight and in the shadows of history, and further contextualizes this present moment of increased representation. Though there have been trans memoirs and histories, there has never been a book quite like this, nor a conversation like this on Perspectives. Tre'vell says, "I don’t remember exactly when I was

In Georgia, hundreds of young people age out of the foster care system every year. Many of these kids have experienced varying degrees of abuse and neglect without the proper health care to help them to work through their trauma. This contributes to many former foster care children's disadvantages when entering adulthood and the workforce. Young adults who grew up in the system are less likely to find satisfactory permanent employment and often become homeless. Amerigroup Georgia and the
