One day, while filing away some work, I found this cover from a 1920s songbook called All the Boys Keep Looking Down. It showed these slender white women’s legs with characters in the background whistling and looking on. I did a little more research and learned that the song was about fashion changing—women’s skirts were getting shorter, and women were boldly showing more of their legs.

It made me think of all the time I spent hiding parts of my own body. Now I show them because I’m proud of my body. My mom ran track, and she has great legs. She has always told me, “You got these legs from me, babe—be proud of them.”

So now I sing: All the boys keep looking down, down, down.
