About 5 years ago, Carrera Alvarez was going through a tough time. She was in the middle of a tumultuous divorce, and rather than letting her stress go, she found herself internalizing it, day after day. As her stress level intensified, so did other health problems. Taking a shower one day, Alvarez looked at the drain and was stunned by the large clump of hair she saw there.
But it wasn’t until Alvarez, 41, a hairdresser herself, was in another stylist’s chair that she learned just how much of her hair was gone. “The stylist said, ‘Carrera, your hair has changed so much, it’s very thin, and you’ve got patches missing,” recalls the Los Angeles native. “And I said, ‘What?’ Her advice you really need to figure out what’s going on made me realize how bad it was.”

How Norfolk became segregated: the century-long roots of the city’s ‘Dividing Lines’ Sara Gregory and Ryan Murphy, The Virginian-Pilot
A mob marched on Norfolk in 1923.
A new family had moved onto Corprew Avenue, a “white block” as far as city ordinance was concerned, the northernmost boundary of the well-to-do enclave of Brambleton, which was then on the city’s outskirts.
The family moving in considered themselves white, but the armed crowd, which included a sitting City Council member, saw no place on the block for what whites thought were light-skinned Black people.
“Brambleton is in Eruption Again,” the Norfolk Journal and Guide newspaper reported after the mob descended on the home, intimidating its occupants and trying to force them to move.

The number of people getting vaccinated surpasses confirmed COVID-19 cases in Virginia
and last updated 2021-01-26 17:21:28-05
NORFOLK, Va. - The number of people vaccinated with at least one dose has now surpassed the number of confirmed COVID-19 cases in Virginia.
More than 497,000 people have now gotten a first dose of the vaccine, compared to more than 483,000 confirmed cases since the beginning of the pandemic, although experts have long said the actual number of cases is higher than the number confirmed.
Still, experts say the more people vaccinated the better off everyone is. We should start to see some effect from that first dose, not as good as when we ve got people with both doses, but there s going to be an effect, said Dr. Edward Oldfield from Eastern Virginia Medical School.
