In March, 18-year-old Dylan Carlson began an internship at News Decoder, a global educational news service for young people. Later that month, European countries began implementing lockdowns to combat COVID-19. The France-based outlet advised its staff to work from home.

Model Lulu Stone talks about her experiences as a mixed-race model “Most hair stylists don’t know how to work with afro-hair, so I just set it myself,” said London-based model Lulu Stone. At London’s Fashion Week last September, the 23-year-old recalled being one of only two mixed-race models on her runway and left alone until the end by the hairstylists and make-up artists. “None of the artists would come near us,” Ms Stone said of her first time at Fashion Week. “The experience made me feel

I went to London's only all-women wrestling academy and released my inner beast! The scent of sweat smacks me hard in the face. At first, I think I may have accidentally walked into the armpit of a burly construction worker just coming off a twelve-hour shift.

Charlie Piper, 30, was living on the streets of Surrey before arriving in London two months ago. Charlie and her Pitbull-mix, Bonnie, spend their days and nights on the London streets, typically around Leicester Square. Like many homeless people, Charlie regularly goes without food and shelter, and like many homeless women, she struggles every month to access tampons and pads. “If I can’t get them I’ll steal them,” said Ms Piper, with a shrug, as she eats a bowl of leftover food given to her by
