What is Black Joy?
From electing a nitwit into the highest seat in the Oval Office to the phenomenal headline renaming a popular festival to “Beychella”, the media is taking us on a rollercoaster ride.

Viva Mexico: 48 Hours in Mexico City
Hola! Passport 2 Pretty dashed to Mexico City para una pequena fiesta para mi cumpleanos!
