Author Minda Harts said that stars like Issa Rae inspire her as she steps into Hollywood. Harts, whose debut novel was recently adapted into a short film, said that networking is key to her success. That book led to a short film adaptation, an upcoming psychological thriller about the workplace starring "The Proud Family" actor Kyla Pratt as Harts. Like Rae, Harts wants to diversify her portfolio. If we all can ask ourselves that in every part of the production process, then I think we'll have a more equitable Hollywood," Harts said.

Fresh off career-making turns as the porn star Rollergirl in "Boogie Nights" and the short shorts-wearing CIA agent Felicity Shagwell in "Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me," Graham wasn't having trouble getting work. "I'm just really intrigued, not only as an actress but as an audience member, by movies that are from a female storytelling perspective." But Graham didn't dwell on what could have been.

Read previewLast year, The Washington Post published a piece about Gen Z reviving the millennial "going out top." This is for those of us born in the late 1990s on the cusp of both the millennial and Gen Z markers. While I do have some firsthand memories, unlike Gen Z, the bulk of millennials were older kids or teens and thus more capable of processing what happened. I feel nostalgic for things I wasn't part ofFrom boy bands to platform flip-flops, I often feel nostalgic for a millennial culture I didn't fully experience. Turning 30 feels a bit like the "last call" on the millennial generation's being considered young; I write with some melancholy.

The 53-year-old man from Macomb County, who chose not to reveal his identity, says the night after his near win, he played again and matched all five numbers to win the $795,905 Fantasy 5 jackpot, the Michigan Lottery said in a news release Thursday. “I always buy Fantasy 5 tickets if the jackpot is over $250,000,” the player told the Michigan Lottery.

My parents were athletic people who signed us up for sports the second we were old enough. I started yoga at 13 because I desperately wanted to improve my cheerleading skills. But in the end, even with all my training in weight lifting, yoga, and gymnastics, my dream didn't come to fruition, and I traded in my pom-poms.
