We all know that Solange Knowles was as artistic as they come, but she's also shown us that she IS art.


Not only is she a singer, a songwriter, and an artist (plus being Beyoncé's sister doesn't hurt), but Solange has consistently shown us through artistic expression why being a Black girl is so lit. From her hair, poses, color palettes, and more, Solange is so intentional about carrying herself as a true embodiment of art. Like, can we all just be your friend?

The soulful songstress, who literally led a revolution of #ReclaimingOurTime with A Seat At the Table, was recently named Harvard University's Artist of the Year, and will accept the honor on March 3. Yasss sis! Honestly, we couldn't think of a better recipient for such an award, as Solange has embodied the essence of black womanhood for so many. Last year, she was one of Glamour's Woman of the Year honorees, Billboard's Women in Music Impact recipient, as well as had an entire exhibit on black womanhood at London's renowned Tate Modern. So yes, Solange is literally #goals.

One thing we absolutely love about her is how she is just a carefree black girl empowering other carefree black girls through intention. And what better way to do that than through exemplifying the black woman as art? Here are 10 times Solange did just that.

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.
