A letter in a series to my friend, Tre, about Megan Thee Stallion, Kanye, Black womanhood, The Culture, and Black love. You can read Tre’s letter to me here, and below is my letter.

Dear Tre,

Oh yeah, I remember exactly what 2004 felt like! It felt like freshman year of college and being grown grown (before I had only felt kind-of grown), it felt like studded belts and acid washed, early aughts, way-too-low-for-this-kind-of-butt jeans. It felt like Chappelle’s Show and The College Dropout.
