It isn’t just sass that got Taraji P. Henson her Critic’s Choice Awards for playing Cookie in Empire.

Cookie may be known for being an absolute bad-ass but she has also taught us important lessons that we all need in life. Let’s look back at 10 moments Cookie Lyon served some real life lessons.

1.
When she was an exemplary (black) mother defending her son’s homosexuality

2.
And when she was equally supportive of Tiana’s bisexuality

3.
When she perfected the complexity of loving and hating someone at the same time

4.
And when she was no longer satisfied with being a side chick

5.
When she didn’t have time for flirting in the workplace

6.
When she taught us how to deal with fake people

7.
When she showed us what we all really want to do with our ex’s new woman

8.
When she voiced out her desires

9.
The day she taught us how to own it in the bedroom

10.
When she turned to God and asked him to be fair
