I became a fan of Formula One during the 2018 season. It inspired me to write a how-to piece on becoming a new fan of the sport. Little did I know, Netflix was filming the first season of the Drive To Survive (DTS) reality series in 2018. With season number five dropping last week, this innovative approach to sports storytelling is credited with more than doubling the audience for F1 in the United States alone, and other sports like tennis and skiing are now chasing the format.

ā€œThe Mentoring Walks resonate with me because, as a feminist, I believe you have to use your power, your voice, your wisdom to empower the next generation of women.ā€ So says Diane von Furstenberg, board member of Vital Voices Global Partnership, sponsor of the 135 Global Mentoring Walks in 45 countries that will take place in the coming days. These women-only walks bring together established and emerging female leaders to create authentic personal and professional connections to inspire the next generation of female change makers. And sometimes they even lead to jobs.

ā€œEvery explicit photo of a child is a photo of a tortured child,ā€ explains UC Berkeley student Saanvi Arora when describing online sexual abuse of minors. Arora teamed up with high school student Anastasia (Ani) Chaglasian after Chaglasian received no justice following repeated exploitation via online chat website Omegle. Together they launched Protect Kids, Not Abusers to rewrite U.S. federal and California state laws. Their demands are clear: lawmakers must protect millions of children sexually abused online over abusers and the platforms that enable abuse.
