Ensuring top performance among K-12 teachers is also important.
But monitoring and assessment teachers' performance during the

it? I'm interested in hearing from school system administrators

Query:
My name is Lorraine Jones and I am a writer for She's SINGLE
Magazine. I'm working on an article about the experience of
going to a Black hair store. It is so hard to find products
specifically for Black people. Most products in stores and even
online are made for a white audience. Anytime you type "black
girl hair accessories" into a search engine only pictures and
products for white girls show up. I am writing about the
juxtaposition of going into stores that are specifically made
for Black people. I'm interested in the following questions:
1.) How does it feel to be so underrepresented in stores and
advertisements?
2.) Do you have a hard time finding Black beauty products in
your area/local stores?
3.)Have you ever been to a Black beauty store?
4.)If so, how far away is it from you? how often do you go?
How vital is this store to you/ how necessary do you think this
trip is?
5.)How do you feel when walking into a department store where
only 3 items on the shelf are made for Black people/ Black owned?
6.) How does it feel when walking into a Black beauty store and
have every product in the store custom made/ tailored for you?
(i.e. Black skin products, Black soaps, Black face masks, Black
hair gels and serums, bundles of hair, wigs, etc)
7.) Did you grow up going to these stores or did you have to
find them on your own?
8.)Why do you think it's important to have more Black
representation in stores?
9.) How important is beauty and hair to Black culture?
10.) What Black products would you recommend/ would never find
at any other stores?

Deadline: 5:00 PM EST - 26 December
Query:
My name is Lorraine Jones and I am a writer for She's SINGLE
Magazine. I am working on an article about the bond a mother
creates through doing her Black daughter's hair. Doing your
daughter's hair is a tradition passed down, your mother did your
hair and one day you will do your own daughter's hair. Doing
your daughter's hair strengthens the trust between mother and
daughter, creates quality time, love, respect, satisfaction,
confidence in the child. Any Black woman can relate to crying
when your mother brushes through your kinky naps, and then
smiling through the tears when you look in the mirror and see
how beautiful and fierce your hair is. I am interested in the
following questions:
1.)Do you remember your mother doing your hair/ do you
currently do your own daughter's hair?
2.) Did the two of you have a hair routine?
3.) Did you have a go to style?
4.) Were you /is your daughter tender headed?
5.)Did you have any tricks to make this process easier?(such as
putting on a movie for styles that take a long time, or
strategies that make it hurt less, advice for dealing with
tender headed children)
6.)Can you describe how you and your mother or how you and your
daughter bond while doing hair?
7.) How did you feel when you got your hair done/how do you feel
when you do your own daughter's hair?
8.)Who taught you how to do hair/ what styles work/protective
styles?
9.)What are your go to styles?
10.) How do you both feel once you look in the mirror and see
the finished product?
11.) Why do you think it's important for mother's to do their
Black daughter's hair?
12.) What's the number one thing to remember when doing your
daughter's hair?
13.)Do you have any advice for other moms, especially White moms
or moms of other races that aren't experienced in doing Black
hair?

I'm writing a story called The Safe Restaurant. I'm looking for
sources of many stripes -- restaurant operators, consultants and
people offering services in the industry, etc.. The story will
run in four parts (see below).
Please let me know if you have a source and if so, how s/he will
fit into the story. I will be doing all interviews between
January 4th and January 11th and would like to get them set up
in advance. I am open to some emailed interviews but for sources
for the main part of the feature, I'd prefer a phone interview.
I'd also like artwork if you have it, please.
The Safe Restaurant: Main Feature -- Here's a look at how the
coronavirus pandemic has changed sanitation and cleanliness in
restaurants for the long term--and how every operator should be
responding to these changes with the future in mind.
Shorter story: Focus on front-of-house safety -- How are
restaurants keeping their restaurants and customers safe, and
showing that they're doing it?
Second shorter story: Focus on back-of-house safety -- Your
employees are putting themselves at risk every day. How are your
keeping your environment safe for them and what protocols do you
have for the back of house?
Third shorter story - Focus on food safety -- There's no
evidence that COVID was ever transmitted through food. But that
doesn't mean operators can let up on food safety any time soon.
Here's how restaurants can double down on the safety of their
food even as they're committing to safety in other parts of the
restaurant.
