For hip-hop's 50th, I wrote about what how cocky women in rap helped my self esteem in a major way growing up. And spit some of the best words of affirmations I still use to this day.

Mourning for black boys forced to become men too fast. Mourning for their tenderness the world tries to rob them of.
