Trump’s Tariffs Might Stick Around. What Should We Buy Now?

Lupita Nyong’o is ushering us into 2018 with Little Mermaid-after-she-made-the-trade realness (The Root staff has been lobbying for her to star in a live-action remake of the animated classic, and we won’t let it go). This marks her fourth(!) Vogue cover in as many years, and is of course in anticipation of her upcoming superhero turn as the Dora Milaje warrior Nakia in Marvel Studio’s Black Panther, directed by Ryan Coogler and due out in February (officially making this the best Black History—and Future—Month EVER).
