Hi! I'm looking to speak to real estate agents and doctors who
have experienced or seen institutional racism in their careers.
In particular, I am looking for people who became doctors or
real estate agents and wanted to have a positive impact on their
communities, but eventually realized the system was unfair. Have
experiences with redlining/housing discrimination or medical
racism (example: med professionals not believing black patients,
giving them worse care, black maternal mortality rate, etc.)?
I'd like to hear from you. I'm interested in hearing about
experiences working in and working against the racism within the
systems you're employed in, how you might have been energized
toward reform, how fighting may have exhausted you--and
ultimately if you can see change happen with your work or if you
needed to leave it.
If this sounds like something you could help me out with even a
little bit, please reach out. Thanks!

talents and characteristics does it need to succeed?

tips and real world examples?
What is the biggest mistake(s) managers make when with small
teams?
How can manages convince business owners or C-level execs to
expand team numbers to increase the chances of success?
Is the "jack of all trades" workplace team strategy make-up a
good idea? Or should teams be comprised of specialists in one or
two areas? What's your take on the makeup of small teams and the
role of multi-taskers?
Thanks - you don't need to answer all the questions, but feel

If this has happened to you, please see my questions below.
1. How was your relationships going before quarantine? What
kinds of goals or plans did you have in store for 2020 as a
couple?
2. In what way has quarantine slowed down your relationship, or
impacted those plans? (i.e., were you forced to quarantine
apart?)
3. Do you think your relationship will pick right back up where
it left off after quarantine? What are your post-quarantine
goals?

Deadline: 7:00 PM EST - 4 August
Query:
I'm working on an article for Bustle called "How Quarantine Led
To Glacial Relationships."
Unlike turbo relationships -- which move fast as a result of
quarantining together -- COVID has resulted in many "glacial
relationships." These move slowly because couples can't see each
other as often, if at all.
As a result, the relationship may feel delayed, they might put
off moving in together, etc. If you are a relationship
therapist, please see my Qs below.
1. In what ways has quarantine slowed down, or put a pause, on
many relationships? And what might the impact be of having to
delay plans, or slow things down? (Can it be concerning for
couples?)
2. What are some ways for couples to stay connected and keep
their relationships moving forward, even if their relationship
has turned "glacial" as a result of quarantine?
Thanks!

Hello! We're looking for mental health professionals to share
insight on how extroverts can cope during self-isolation. This
online article will include tips and strategies for staying
connected. Please answer the following.
1. If you're an extrovert, why is it important to be proactive

these uncertain times affect an extrovert--and why should they

clubs, fitness classes, etc. energize/benefit an extrovert? 3.

of the house and walking help? 4. Social media might have its
drawbacks, but how can extroverts use it in a productive and
beneficial way during this time? 5. Please share and EXPLAIN one
way an extrovert can learn how to embrace alone time during

Looking forward to your replies. Thanks!

with the article.

Must be in the US - I won't be able to consider international

drivers make when purchasing auto insurance?
