To Be a Black Girl”
by Yara Shahidi
To be a black girl is to be one of the reasons the universe thrives.

Our lineage has taught me that I am integral, that we are important, even when society dismisses us, hiding the wonder of our presence, a trail set for and before us by generations of powerful and empowered Black women.

Bell hooks, Angela Davis, Janet Mock, Cicely Tyson, Patrisse Khan-Cullurs – an ever growing list of undisputed change-makers and boundary-expanders.

Each and every one of us, embracing our obligation to serve as a mother-shepherd to our society, experiencing with a knowingness the excruciating pains of labor in hopes that the continual rebirth and evolution of our nation will be one that revels in our existence, that lifts us as empowered beings, and that remembers the tenderness of our care.

A study of my history tells me that I will soar, despite the continuation of oppression, neglect and objectification. We will soar. I’m inspired by my own family of powerful black women, I carry the intention to continue making space for black girls to be black girls.

Los Angeles, CA– Today, Comedian and entertainer Lil Duval teams up with the reigning king of line dance himself, Cupid, to release their latest singles “Go Auntie,” available now on all major streaming platforms. The infectious new track is a celebration of the stylish, confident, two stepping aunties that keep every family function lit – from weddings to backyard BBQs.

The release comes on the heels of a major honor for Cupid, who the State of Louisiana officially recognized as the Line Dance King of the World. With classic anthems like the multi-platinum “Cupid Shuffle,” “Flex,” and “Pop That Fan,” Cupid continues to shape culture, bring generations together, and fill dance floors across the globe.

But he’s not done yet.

On May 26th, 2025, just in time for Memorial Day Weekend, Cupid is back again with another summer banger, dropping “The Cookout (Remix)”, featuring southern hip-hop legends Bun B and Paul Wall. The remix is poised to be the go-to soundtrack for every grill master and family gathering this summer.

With being a 7x multi-platinum artist, Cupid proves yet again why he holds the crown – blending music, movement, and moments that bring people together.

“Go Auntie” is more than a song – it’s a vibe, a celebration, and a tribute to the unsung queens of the cookout,” says Cupid. “And we’re just getting started.”

Stream “Go Auntie” now on Spotify, Apple Music, Tidal and all digital music platforms.
