New York Fashion Week, which formally kicks off fashion month, has found itself at a crossroads in recent seasons as its counterparts in Milan and Paris have maintained dominance on the industry’s schedule with sought-after shows and splashy celebrity guest lists. Gilbert Flores/WWD/Getty ImagesBut Olympians haven’t just been on the guest list this week — they’ve made surprise runway debuts as well. The Nepali American designer Prabal Gurung, too, had a message, but one of hope. Paris Hilton invited Megan Thee Stallion for a performance at Hilton’s album release party with Nylon Magazine for New York Fashion Week.

☆ In Sierra Leone, Reasons for Hope - The New York Times

FREETOWN, Sierra Leone — One of the misimpressions people have about the world is that it’s going to hell. Just about the worst thing that can happen to anyone is to lose a child, and historically, almost half of children died before reaching adulthood. We happen to live in a transformational era in which 96 percent of the world’s children now survive until adulthood. That arc is visible here in Sierra Leone, a country that remains heartbreakingly poor — yet where the risk of a child dying is less than half what it was 20 years ago. You may have heard of Sierra Leone as “the most dangerous place in the world to give birth.” No longer true: Deaths in pregnancy and childbirth have plunged 74 percent since 2000, according to United Nations figures.

☆ Opinion | To Be Gay in a Country Where It’s Still Illegal

I’m traveling in West Africa on my annual win-a-trip journey, a global reporting expedition on which I take a university student to highlight issues that deserve more attention. By Maddie BenderFREETOWN, Sierra Leone — When Abdul was a teenager and coming to terms with being gay, he was attacked by a group of men. He reported the incident to the police and was told that an arrest could be made — of him, for homosexuality. Sierra Leone is one of more than 30 African nations (over half the continent) that criminalize same-sex relations. While most of the gay people I spoke with there did not seem to fear being arrested, they said discrimination against them was widespread in housing, employment and family life.
☆ In Sierra Leone, 50 Cents Can Change a Life - The New York Times

MAKENI, Sierra Leone — Brace yourself for a gross fact: Some 1.5 billion of the world’s people have worms living in their bodies, weakening them and occasionally disfiguring them. Yet eliminating the worms is one of the most tantalizing and inexpensive of health fixes. Think of it this way: For the cost of keeping a single American dog dewormed, we could free more than 100 children abroad from the burden of worms. My student winner is Maddie Bender, a recent graduate of Yale University — the trip was delayed by the pandemic — and I brought her to rural Sierra Leone because what’s happening in these villages underscores how cheap it can be to register progress: Children can be dewormed for about 50 cents each. At a typical two dewormings a year, that’s $1 annually, compared with almost $140 a year for the Heartgard deworming medicine that my dog gets.
