This is the very reason why the Black psychotherapist, Keeley Taverner, isn’t worried AI is coming for her job any time soon. “Well, humans need humans. And to me, therapy is a relational relationship. It’s why I physically have a room for people to come and visit,” says Taverner, Director of Key for Change, to Unbothered. Earlier this year, the British-Jamaican psychotherapist and wellbeing consultant called for more Black and culturally competent therapists in the UK to help reduce significant barriers for young Black people wanting to access therapy because they believe it’s a “white middle-class pursuit”. For Taverner, she’s skeptical Black AI therapists are a useful aid in this mission. “For some people, I would suggest [AI therapy] may be helpful as a starting gate [into therapy]. But, let’s be frank, the reality is the complexities of humanity are something you can’t replicate. I don’t believe you can replicate it in that format,” she says.
Part of the charm of L.A.-girl style is that the mild weather gives them the freedom to not be ruled by the weather. When you don’t have to be covered up by a coat for half of the year like much of the country is, you’re free to let your top (or in this case, sweater) be the main event. And the current sweater trend that’s perfect for L.A. weather (especially this time of year) is without a doubt a classic crew-neck cardigan—just like all the chic models wore in the ’90s.
As one of the fashion industry’s most storied brands, Coach somehow always manages to reinvent itself and breathe new life into its iconic handbag silhouettes. The Coach Tabby Shoulder Bag 20 With Quilting ($395) is just the latest example of the label’s commitment to innovation, and in true Coach fashion, it arrives just in time for spring in a bevy of fresh, seasonal colorways.
In the summer of 2023, just a few years after the launch of Parisian footwear label Nomasei, founders Paule Tenaillon and Marine Braquet received a message on Instagram. It was from Blake Lively who, after stumbling upon their account, wanted to know where to get her hands on a pair of their Nono loafers. While Lively might’ve been the first A-lister to slide into their DMs, she certainly wasn’t the first celebrity to show interest. Tenaillon recalls a period in late 2022 when their designs were spotted, back to back, on Nicole Kidman, Kristen Stewart, and Emily in Paris’ Camille Razat. Despite the growing list of celebrity clientele, which also includes Katie Holmes, Tracee Ellis Ross, and Bella Hadid, Braquet feels that “we still haven’t made it.” She continues, “I think we will start to feel safe when our name will be a little bit more known and [we] continue to have this trust in ourselves.”
