Rev. Dr. Louise Goben is President of the North Hollywood Interfaith Food Pantry and has volunteered with the pantry almost since its inception.

Too Young for Rectal Cancer? A Growing Number of Americans Aren’t
For years, rectal cancer carried an unspoken label. It was something that happened later. Something tied to aging, retirement, and routine screenings that began after fifty. Younger bodies, we believed, were largely spared.

Gen Z Is No Longer Getting their Driver’s License
For decades, learning how to drive was a rite of passage. Turning 16 meant freedom, independence, and your first taste of adulthood behind the wheel. But something has shifted. A growing number of young people — especially Gen Z — are delaying getting their driver’s licenses or skipping it entirely. Instead, they’re tapping a screen, booking an Uber, and letting someone else handle the road.

Paying Rent Pandemic
Why do I have to pay a monthly rent to buy something at a fair price? I can’t for the life of me imagine how this makes any sense. If you want my dollars, you post your goods and I’ll buy them, if they are priced well and of good quality.

Lindsey Vonn’s Last Olympic Descent: Why She Said She’d “Already Won” Before the Crash That Shook Milano Cortina 2026
When Lindsey Vonn clicked into her skis at the top of the mountain in Cortina d’Ampezzo, the moment felt less like the start of a race and more like the closing chapter of an epic novel. Snow dusted the peaks like punctuation marks, the crowd buzzed with expectation, and history waited downhill. Just 13 seconds later, it all unraveled.

Sharing The Spotlight
I took a little break from this series because of a weird comment I got asking how much money this series was generating for me. It made me feel icky. Let me be clear, I do not do this for financial gain. Yes, I DO get compensated like everyone else for my reads. That said, this isn't my most lucrative story. I do this to give some attention to any one I mention here. I enjoy sharing other people's work and supporting the Vocal community in the ways that I can. This is one of those ways- attempting to generate a little bit of traffic someone else's way. I am not the most popular creator on Vocal. I don't have a gigantic following of avid readers, but the ones I do have are a super cool group of humans who I love and appreciate. They are very supportive members of the community and seem to enjoy this little series I've created.
