Before she organized a large-scale Slut Walk to promote sex positivity and wrote the memoir/empowerment manual How To Be A Bad Bitch, Amber Rose was once a "slut-shamer, completely." The model and actress cites her split from former husband Wiz khalifa, however, as when she decided to identify as a feminist.
"I would look on Wiz's Instagram and he would have pictures of all these women all over him...and then I would post a picture of me and my son. And people would be like, 'Does your son know that his mother's a whore?" she says. 'Wiz is out fucking mad bitches and you're at home crying over him because he's the best thing that fucking ever happened to you and now you're just a fat, bald-headed single mother and no one will ever love you.' So yeah, I guess months of seeing shit like that, I was just like, 'I can't live like this. There's something wrong."
Rose has of late been reborn as a feminist hero whose goal is to empower women and help them realize that there is no shame in enjoying one's sexuality. It's an issue she understands well, as the first time she was called a "slut" was in the eighth grade at a party where she was playing Seven Minutes in Heaven with a group of classmates, one of whom took her in the closet and told her to get down on her knees.
"That young, I didn't know what that meant," Rose pauses a second. "It just didn't register. But he's like, 'No, no, I'm telling you, get down on your knees. I'll show you something.' And then he just opens the door, right? And I look over at him and he has his penis in my face, I'm on my knees- and still, girl, I swear to God, I swear on my son's life, it still didn't register to me why they were all gasping."
Rose says she was still a virgin and "had never even thought of giving head at that time," she says of her introduction to slut-shaming and the lack of control women have over their own sexuality in our society. "I was so young. I fell into a depression. Everyone hated me. I was the school slut." It's a narrative she says has haunted her since, though she claims to longer "give a fuck" about the naysayers. As she spends more time addressing these issues, as a biracial woman she's also realized that the movement itself is still far from perfect, especially after she saw "a lot of older women speaking negatively about my Slut Walk," as illustrated by an outpouring of Facebook comments and tweets, some even from people near her age, saying things like, "This #amberroseslutwalk is a shame. Instead of it being about defending rape victims...it's turned into these crazies wanting to be topless."
"I guess what I want with our generation is to have it not be that way," Rose says wistfully. "Like, all of us women, let's just stick together and look out for each other. I was really glad that my Slut Walk was extremely diverse. There were all types of women from all walks of life there...That would be the main thing for me...really just try to take the racism out of feminism for our generation."

Meek Mill Pens Open Letter To His Son For Father’s Day
"With my career and my crazy schedule, sometimes it’s tough to be able to spend the amount of time with him that I want and that he deserves. After spending time away from him, one of my favorite things to do is get on my four wheeler with my little man in tow. Picture us riding around my neighborhood waving at all my neighbors. My son is fearless on his bike. Those are the moments I think about when I’m on the road."
"I never had a strong male figure in my life. I didn’t have that person to teach me things fathers teach their sons because my father was killed when I was young. It was just me, my mom, and my sister, so I had to be the man of the house. When I was younger, I remember being able to speak to my father and then in the blink of an eye, he was gone. My mom played the role of both mom and dad. We had nothing growing up, so my mom worked any job she could find to provide for me and my sister. I love her so much for that. But as much as I appreciated everything my mother did for me, she couldn’t fill the space that a father should hold in a child’s life."
"Before I leave, I always explain to him that everything I do, I do for him. All the shows, all the nights in the studio, I do with my son in mind".
As a father, now I get to give my son the life I never had. Being able to give him anything he wants is one of the best feelings in the world—but it’s also scary. When you see how much one person can trust you, look up to you, and depend on you, the last thing you want to do is disappoint them. The fact that no one can teach you how to be a father means you are always learning on the job. I love my son with all my heart, and I would do anything for him. It’s a crazy feeling knowing that I will help him become a great man.
