New year, new normal

Vanessa Cole takes photos of friend Raven Holloway at Belmont Plateau in Philadelphia on Jan. 2, 2021. The two West Philly natives and “besties since 7th grade” were celebrating Holloway’s 34th birthday with photos on the plateau and then a COVID-friendly three-girlfriend sleepover. Holloway said she hoped “to remind us that normalcy does exist even when we have parameters. It’s hard, but it’s worth it.”
