Happy Friday! Chelsea, here.

We made it through yet another week, everybody! I love the month of May for many reasons. When I was a little kid, it was mostly because it meant that school was almost over. In my twenties, I've spent the past 7 years celebrating my anniversary with my boyfriend. And by this time next year, I'll be about to celebrate my first wedding anniversary. 

But one of the reasons I like May the best is that we get to spend a whole weekend celebrating all of the amazing women who gave us life. If your mom is looking for something this Mother's Day besides a nice brunch, don't worry. There is so much going around town for moms and grandmas, that you're pretty much guaranteed to give them the perfect day they deserve.

Longread T La Rock was a pioneer of hip-hop. The legendary rapper was sampled by Public Enemy, Nas, and many more, cementing his position as a founding member of hip-hop. But in 1994, T La Rock was injured while breaking up a fight and his life changed forever. His severe injuries landed in him a nursing home, where he not only had to recover physically but had to recover mentally. Fighting to regain his motor skills, he also had to battle amnesia, which caused him to forget he’d ever been a rapper at all.GQ: The Man Who Forgot He Was a Rap Legend
