During a Catholic mass, attendees recite the words “It is Right and Just” and I thought about those words as Monsignor Tim Hogan from St. Fabian Catholic Church delivered the homily this past Sunday. He talked about the current crisis in the Catholic church calling the reports in Pennsylvania “sinful, criminal and scandalous.” People were …

By Ashourina Slewo If you had asked me during my last semester at Wayne State where I thought I would end up after graduation, I would not have an answer for you.

The sexual abuse of more than 140 women over a 20-year period …

It amazes me how many web designers that I talk with create websites for clients who have no content. So, you realize your company needs a website or an updated one but you have only thought out the design and not the messages. As content creators, we focus on all platforms, including websites, and are …
