This World AIDS Day, remember the words of Sheryl Lee Ralph. The Emmy-winning star of Abbott Elementary recently received an award at the Elizabeth Taylor Ball to End AIDS. And at the West Hollywood fundraising gala, the actress used her voice to warn of the high price of silence about the AIDS epidemic. “The truths are not easy, and 40 years later people want to act like it didn’t happen, but it did happen. It was horrible. It was ugly, and it was America,” she said at the podium. “And it spread to the rest of the world. And when you used your voice to speak up, people wanted to tell you, ‘You need to shut up.’” She added, “Because some people did not use their voice, did not speak…

The LGBTQ-inclusive series centers on the lives of emergency responders and also boasts names like Rob Lowe, Liv Tyler, and transgender…

FOR FUR BABY TRAVELERS Treat her like you should with a super stylish take on the classic LV trunk. The Malle Chien Louis Vuitton Dog Trunk, which looks as good at home as on the runway, has a washable soft touch cushion and golden metal grid on the sides to ventilate. ($3,500, us.louisvuitton.com) FOR YOUR ADVENTURER The new Apple Watch Ultra is worth the upgrade for adventurers.
