Lost Soul – Sports Illustrated
This is one of my favorite content pieces of the year, hands down. Everything from the amazing detail, storytelling, sources used for quotes and the visuals that accompany this writing – it’s truly a piece of art. I always wanted to know what happened to Bison Dele. It still remains a mystery, but this piece offers great insight

Pharrell’s Signature Four-Count Start – Genius
As a huge Pharrell fan I’m really mad I never noticed this standout tendency. It’s safe to say i’ll never consume P’s production the same again. Thank you, Genius.

She states they have a responsibility to pay attention to supporting high-quality reporting and can no longer hide behind the guise of being simply a “tech company”.
