Lizzo: The Black history of twerking -- and how it taught me self-love ｜ TED https://diler.tube/videos/watch/ab8e660e-10ab-4ce4-aaac-65cdd2e57e3e Twerking is mainstream now ... but do you know where it came from? Superstar Lizzo traces booty shaking to a traditional West African dance and shares how Black women across generations kept the rhythm alive, from blues and jazz singers to modern rap and hip-hop performers.

(And, yes, she twerks on stage.)
