Double Happiness owner and booker Yalan Papillons has found a new direction. It’s why she’s put the venue up for sale, and why hip hop artists Mood and Lone Catalysts will be the last artists to grace the stage before it closes on Sunday, November 26. “I’m sad about it, but I feel like when […]
Grassroots: SURJ Columbus Uses “People Power” to Work Against Racial Injustice
February 18, 2017 8:00 am Lauren Sega

Childhood trauma isn’t like an old t-shirt. It’s not something that can be tossed aside or outgrown. A woman who grew up with her father’s substance abuse, her mother’s incarceration, and the resulting physical and emotional neglect is 12 times more likely to attempt suicide.

Anyone who’s gone to school likely shares a similar notion of how things are supposed to go: one instructor stands in front of a group of students and tries to teach them something — physics, graphic design, Women and Gender Studies 101, how to sing or play an instrument — the list can go on […]

When Annie Williams got into bartending years ago, it was with the same intention as many a wary drink slinger has: an easy way to make money while in college. She started, as most, honing her bottle-opening skills at sports bars, but the rest of her story diverges here a bit from the norm. A […]
