When Lizzo managed to recruit her idol, Missy Elliott, to join her for a remix and video of her hit single “Tempo,” we thought we’d reached peak collaborative nirvana (at least, for the summer of 2019).

22 Days of Eating Like Beyoncé, Days 14 & 15: Is This Mission Impossible?
Well, I’ve figured out why it’s been so difficult to take off the weight. Over a decade ago, when I was a freewheeling and high-earning New York City girl (with a much higher metabolism) living off of takeout four to five days a week (and leftovers the other two to three), my mother blessed me…

Bish, I Be Running: A Training Diary of a Non-Running Runner
So, I’m running the New York City marathon. I’m not a runner—never have been, and don’t particularly desire to be—but I can run. Yeah, I know.
