Twenty Greatest Singles of the CU Era: Amythyst Kiah, “Black Myself”

I know I shouldn’t, but I can’t help myself: When I’m driving alone in my car, I blast Amythyst Kiah’s “Black Myself” and sing along. It’s a testament to how infectious and forceful Kiah’s anthem of empowerment is. I’m a lot of things as a human, but I’m not a queer black woman, so this song is in no way for me or about me. But goddamn, does it still get me fired up.
