I am designing an online memorial service, to be held later this month. The deceased is not a person, but a beloved, 74-year-old small college that closed its local campus a few months ago. I taught there from 1983 – 1993. Under pandemic conditions, former alumni, faculty, staff, and other friends of the institution cannot even meet in person to grieve.

If 2020 has taught us anything, it’s that health and wellness are vital. It’s been a trending topic for years, but in recent months wellness has evolved in presentation, integration, and accessibility. We see it presented in innovative ways (think Zoom fitness sessions), synching with various technologies (think Apple watch), and with lower barriers to entry (think vlogs on meditation, diet-conscious recipe blogs, or YouTube yoga videos).

Black homebuyers, who are less likely than their white counterparts to have jobs that can be done remotely, face higher home prices as white homebuyers move to more affordable suburbs. Home prices in neighborhoods where Black people bought homes in 2019 were up 7% in July. That’s higher than the 6% price increase in neighborhoods where white people purchased homes last year.
