International Women's Month is coming to an end in a few days, and even though this is our anniversary, let's be clear, we celebrate black girl magic all damn year. From women like Senator Stephanie Flowers giving us life and standing up for the rights of black Americans when it comes to gun policy, to our little sisters Marsai Martin and Nico Parker killing the industry at large as well as the cover of Teen Vogue for their latest issue, women of the 21st century have proven that there isn't much that we cannot do when we band together.

In this spirit of camaraderie, costume designer Ruth E. Carter created a challenge that gives women the opportunity to #DanceTogether, regardless of social status, age, or race. Following a fabulous rendition of Beyonce's "Who Run The World (Girls)", the Black Panther designer announced the challenge and enlisted friends like Gabrielle Union, Lupita N'yongo and Halle Berry to join in on the fun and upload a video singing or dancing to their favorite women's empowerment song. She wrote on Instagram:

"Ladies! Let's have some fun for the rest of #WomensHistoryMonth and show the world when women unite anything is possible."

Since Ruth's call to action, celebs like Tika Sumpter, Halle Berry, Gabrielle Union, Angela Bassett and Kelly Rowland have slid through the gram with their version of the challenge.

April is a month to slow down and to fully grasp what has been. The month starts in fiery Aries Season, but we are also in the thick of Retrograde Season as we begin the month as well. Thankfully, Mercury finally goes direct on April 7, after being retrograde mid-March, and communication matters are clearing up. This is a month of mental clarity, a fresh start, and not being afraid to dream a little bigger.

On April 12, there is a Full Moon in Libra, and this Full Moon brings relationship and financial matters full circle. This is the time to let go of what doesn’t make you feel balanced or in harmony and to create space for more peace to enter your life. Venus goes direct in Pisces on the same day, after being retrograde since March 1, and love is healing. With Venus now direct, there are more opportunities for commitment and longevity in love, and there is overall a greater feeling of romance, receptivity, and compassion in the air now.

Turns Out Sober Sex Might Be The Underrated Secret To Better Orgasms

Hmph. I know there has got to be at least three times a week when our grandparents will hear about something that folks present as being revolutionary that causes them to just roll their eyes, shrug their shoulders, and continue to go on with whatever they were doing. Listen, call it old-fashioned thinking if you want to but if you want to avoid a lot of unnecessary regret in this life, hang out with your elders (and actually listen to what they are saying) sometimes — they’ve already been where you are and, since when it comes to them, you can’t say the same, you just might get a few gems (in fact, I can almost guarantee it).

Take sobergasms, for instance. Oh, I’m willing to bet that a senior in your life has mentioned them, just in another way, before. If you’ve never heard of the term, it’s actually a pretty good one because it means just what you think it does: SOBER ORGASMS. And just to make sure that we all are on the same page, it’s sex — that hopefully includes orgasms — that involves very little to no alcohol.
